About this listen

A Knives Out-style whodunnit with a twist of Taylor Jenkins Reid, You Must Remember This is an immersive Gothic mystery, with a long-ago love affair, icy death, and a rich family gone bad, from Kat Rosenfield, the acclaimed author of No One Will Miss Her.

On Christmas Eve, 85-year-old Miriam Caravasios steps onto the ice that surrounds her seaside estate on Maine's Mount Desert Island. As a younger woman, she used to steal out on winter nights to meet her lover, walking across the frozen reach to their secret meeting place. She knows the way—but not the year. Miriam, her mind clouded by dementia, doesn’t hear the snap of thin ice until it’s too late.

Was it an accident? Suicide? Or worse: Did someone lure the old woman onto the frozen reach, to her death?

There are plenty of suspects; Miriam’s fractured and complicated family has gathered in their Bar Harbor mansion to celebrate what everyone believed would likely be the matriarch’s last Christmas. The guests include Delphine, Miriam’s granddaughter, a frightened and insecure young woman who adored her grandmother, and Miriam’s live-in aide, Adam, whom Delphine has been secretly dating. There is Miriam's former housekeeper, Shelly Dyer, who left the family's employment years ago under mysterious circumstances. There are Miriam’s children: Theodora, who gave up everything to assume the role of caretaker; Diana, who seems just a little too eager to inherit her share of the estate; and Richard, whose longtime grudge against his mother has curdled into gleeful contempt at her deterioration.

But it’s Delphine who comes in for the greatest scrutiny when they learn the shocking news that Miriam’s will cut off her children, leaving her granddaughter almost everything.

As tensions rise, Delphine is emboldened to start asking questions: not just about her grandmother's death, but about her life, and the love story that defined it as the rest of her memories faded. The trail will take her into the past, into dark places—and eventually, onto thin ice.

This book is well narrated and has a gothic feel. The atmosphere of a seaside mansion combined with the haunting dementia driven memories and fantasies of the family matriarch make this a suspense filled book. Even when the villain is revealed the danger still builds until the final resolution. Worth the time!

Good God. After a couple hours of this atrocious narration and plotless drag, I am convinced this author is playing a joke on us to see how long we hang on before eventually just not really caring what happens to all of these entitled rich brats with several generations of boring "problems". Supposedly a murder happens and perhaps it will pick up but after 2.5hrs I cannot go on. I am disappointed as I really enjoy other works by this author.

Couldn't get past 2.5 hrs

I enjoyed Ms. Rosenfield's other book a bit more. I liked the narrator who did the voice for Miriam. The narrator for Delphine was kind of annoying. I certainly enjoyed the book overall, but found it a little bit wordy and dragging at times.

Liked one narrator but not the other. Story ok.

The gyst of the story is good, narrators are good, but the journey was a bit long and tedious. Soap opera like.

Drawn out!

I liked the story overall but I would have wanted a slightly different voice for the two main characters a bit.

Cleverly wrought… 2 women reading the mystery. They wove the story back and forth spanning 3 generations. So well read by Katherine Conklin and Stacy Gonzalez. I loved how the vernacular of both these women reflected their generations and I loved the change of empowerment of women over the generations. Wonderful book AND audiobook.

What a performance and book!

Not my usual genre but I was hooked. A sense of dread that builds and doesn’t disappoint.

Suspenseful & Atmospheric

Here's a psychological thriller with truly multi-dimensional characters and a roller coaster plot. I can't wait to listen to more of this author's works. My favorite listen so far this year, nearly halfway through 2023, and I have over upwards of 400 books in my library.

Amazing! Simply amazing!

Wanted something different. Started slow but couldn't stop listening towards the end. Will have to check out Kat Rosenfeld's other books.

Unexpectedly good
