NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BestsellerWhat if you Googled yourself and discovered something shocking? A HOUSTON WRITERS GUILD MANUSCRIPT WINNERIn this gripping psychological thriller, a group of privileged suburban moms amuse themselves by Googling everyone in town, digging up dirt to fuel thorny gossip. Caroline Thompson, devoted mother of two, sticks to the moral high ground and attempts to avoid these women. She's relieved to hear her name appears only three times, citing her philanthropy. Despite being grateful that she has nothing to hide, a delayed pang of insecurity prods Caroline to Google her maiden name-which none of the others know.The hits cascade like a tsunami. Caroline's terrified by what she reads. An obituary for her sister, JD? That's absurd. With every click, the revelations grow more alarming. They can't be right. She'd know. Caroline is hurled into a state of paranoia-upending her blissful family life-desperate to prove these allegations false before someone discovers they're true.The disturbing underpinnings of The Memory Box expose a story of deceit, misconceptions, and an obsession for control. With its twists, taut pacing, and psychological tenor, Natiello's page-turning suspense cautions: Be careful what you search for.

"A sinister twist pushes it into serious Gone Girl territory." —BUSTLE
What if you Googled yourself and discovered you're not who you think you are?
Caroline Thompson has everything she’s ever wanted. A gorgeous, successful husband, two adoring daughters, loyal friends, her dream house in affluent Farhaven. But the gossipy moms in town are known to Google their neighbors to dig up dirt. Thankfully when they search Caroline’s name, they only find her volunteer work.
Curiosity tempts Caroline to Google her maiden name—which no one else knows.
What she finds is terrifying.
An obituary for her sister, JD? That’s absurd.
A dangerous scandal from college? That’s impossible.
As the revelations grow more disturbing, Caroline spirals into paranoia. She can’t confide in anyone—she’d risk losing everything. In a manic race against the clock, she becomes desperate to prove these allegations false before someone discovers they’re true.
THE MEMORY BOX is a heart-pounding thriller of betrayal, secrets and deception. Fast-paced until the final jaw-dropping twist.
For fans of Gone Girl and The Woman In The Window comes a “twisty, ingenious” psychological suspense with an ending that will leave you shaking.
Be careful what you search for.
