Oddly enough I'm currently reading a book with that theme. It's called The Binding and it's set in the Victorian age of a parallel world in which certain people, called binders, have the ability to remove memories and convert them into a book. Some binders work purely therapeutically, curing people of PTSD by removing the unwanted memories. But there is a darker side to the craft: the selling of memories by the poor and desperate (often for subsequent use as pornography), and the ability of sexual abusers to have their victims' memories erased afterwards.
That sounds a lot like Richard Kadrey's "Becoming Cindy".
I finally finished Eyrie (took me waaaaaay too long) - a great writer whom I will want to read more from, a great book. Sufficiently entertaining and suspenseful, too.
It is a very nicely done mystery in the sub-genre known as cozies. It's set in the environment of small-town museums and historical societies. The author is the retired president of a small college and it's full of tid-bits about museums and historical societies and how they work.
Robert Crais' second novel (copyright 1989) entitled Stalking the Angel. Had to order it online, as I could not find it in book stores or libraries. The reason for this lack came to light in the second chapter where one Donald Trump is mentioned.

I don't think so.
The orange baby was around _and famous_ long before it decided to take on a whole nation.

I've just finished Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I thought it might be a bit "girly" - I'm a macho Baldacci fan - but it's a great story. Highly recommended.
