MEMORABILIA - BOOK 1
A mystery stretching from the beaches of Normandy June 6, 1944, to present day
Atlantic City. Book 1 of the Memorabilia Trilogy.
When Elyse, the beautiful memorabilia collector, came into Sean Barrick’s pawn shop, she was searching for historic photographs of the D Day landings. It was no coincidence that Sean’s grandfather was a war photographer and one of the few men on Omaha Beach that day shooting with a camera instead of a gun. The urban legend of his missing photographs is well-known but her story about those photographs pointing to a cache of stolen Nazi jewels is new and leads them on a search for answers reaching back to 1944. Can Sean trust her or should he believe the two Secret Service agents who say she’s a criminal?Book Review of Memorabilia

It’s difficult to tell you about Memorabilia by Kyle R. Fisher without giving away any of the intricate and interesting plot. I can tell you that Sean Barrick, a disgraced police officer and the grandson of D-Day photographer Paul Barrick, is drawn into a hunt for some of Paul’s long-missing photos that might be worth a lot of money. He’s brought into the search by the mysterious Elyse, a beautiful woman with a big secret. This is a cross-genre novel, part mystery and part science fiction. Yes, really. And it works. Memorabilia held my interest every step of the way. Fisher does an excellent job of bringing you into the scenes with the characters.
The book has three potential problems - none of which
disqualify it from being a good read. First, the cover does not give
a sense of what the book is about, and, for me at least, was not
appealing. Additionally, there were some longish quotes from
Paul’s wartime journal that were too detailed to be journal
writing. With minimal changes, they could have been handled as
back story and would have worked much better. Finally, Sean’s
(and the reader’s) understanding of what really happened
depends on a coincidence at the end, but I didn’t care, and you
won’t either.
