Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

The Memory Bell is a mystery that takes place in Oakville, Illinois involving the well-known Penner family, and a Detective from Chicago who is investigating a murder case based on old remains discovered in this small town. The memory bell, which belonged to Charlie Penner, was gifted to Grace after his passing much to the dismay of certain family members. Grace believed it kept the family together; therefore, causing her much distress once the memory bell shattered, and some pieces mysteriously went missing. We begin to see cracks in the seemingly perfect family as Detective Ben’s murder investigation reveals secrets that threaten to pull the family apart. This heartwarming mystery follows Grace on a mission to put her family back together as she seeks to find the missing pieces of the memory bell while Detective Ben tries to bring closure to an old mystery.

Kat Flannery captivates the reader throughout the novel as more secrets are revealed, and as the mystery is closer to being solved. The characters are very well-developed. Grace is sincere with her family ideals and is very personable to the reader. Specifically, the charming dynamic between Grace and Ben elevates the story. Flannery’s novel is beautifully written and comes together with a heartwarming ending despite the challenges and struggles experienced by each character in the novel. Surprising revelations and turns of events throughout the book are engaging and make this story truly unique. I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves a good and unexpected “whodunnit” with the perfect amount of romance interwoven into the story.

Sublime Line: “Kat Flannery writes a heartwarming and captivating mystery encompassing an old murder case and a symbolic memory bell in a small town where everyone has something to hide.”
