The Memory Game is a psychological thriller by London journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French under the pseudonym Nicci French. It was their first novel and was originally published by William Heinemann in 1997. The novel concerns the account of Jane Martello, a middle-aged woman undergoing divorce proceedings with her husband and separating herself from the large, strong family she has known since her childhood. The intricate traditions of her family and the one she had married into begin to break down when the body of her sister-in-law, Natalie, is found buried in the garden after over two decades. This startlingly close distance to the house leads to the revelation of the murderer being very close to the family.
