Four strangers time travel to the past and find themselves stuck on the day all their lives were changed in this stunning speculative mystery from award-winning film and television producer Dete Meserve, perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Wrong Place Wrong Time, and The Paradox Hotel.

What would you do if you could spend an hour in your past? Four strangers in the beach town of Ventura, California are about to find out.

Elizabeth aches for one more precious hour with her son who died in a senseless accident. Andy is desperate to find his first love who vanished after a whirlwind romance. Logan craves the rush of surfing and mountain climbing, yearning to reclaim the freedom he lost after a misstep landed him in a wheelchair. Brooke is looking for an hour of relief from the guilt of an unforgivable mistake.

Enter Aeon Expeditions, the groundbreaking time travel invention of Mark Saunders—which allows some lucky clients the chance to spend an hour in their past. Even though Aeon’s technology ensures time travel can’t alter the future, all four clients, including Mark’s ex-wife Elizabeth, yearn to revisit the hour that changed their lives forever.

But when their “hour” extends beyond sixty minutes, they find themselves stranded in the past. As their paths intertwine unexpectedly, they unearth shocking secrets hidden in the shadows of their shared history: All their lives were shattered the same night on a secluded highway by the beach. As they delve into the hidden truths of that pivotal hour, a startling revelation emerges. They were not alone. Someone else was present, harboring deadly intentions.

The Memory Collectors is a heart-wrenching, genre-bending novel brimming with hope, grief, and second chances.

The Memory Collectors. I have listened to over a hundred audiobooks and have listened to a lot of great books. This is my favorite audiobook…. Give it a listen; it begins on telling details of the 4 characters so keep listening… Great Narrators. My all time favorite… and the first from this author for me and I’m glad I took a chance on it cause I wasn’t sure first. I didn’t want it to end. Joyce S.

I love this story

Not a fan of the ending but I really enjoyed the first 5/6 of the book.

Great until the End

I thought I was just getting a sci-fi thriller - which I did - but I also got a pretty raw character study and reflection over the choices that make up a life. I really liked the balance between the two directions though I actually wish we went a *little* bit deeper on the individual character resolutions and their mental journey to get there. After such a build up, it felt like the end was kind of rushed. But overall, I quite enjoyed this and want to get more into Meserve’s other works.

Unexpected in a good way
