Marshall Green's short-term memory has all but evaporated, but, as if in compensation, his oldest memories are more vivid than ever.

Both suspenseful and deeply moving, Carolina Moonset is an engrossing novel about family, memories both golden and terrible, and secrets too dangerous to stay hidden forever, from New York Times bestselling and Emmy Award-winning author, Matt Goldman.
Joey Green has returned to Beaufort, South Carolina, with its palmettos and shrimp boats, to look after his ailing father, who is succumbing to dementia, while his overstressed mother takes a break. Marshall Green's short-term memory has all but evaporated, but, as if in compensation, his oldest memories are more vivid than ever. His mind keeps slipping backwards in time, retreating into long-ago yesterdays of growing up in Beaufort as a boy. At first this seems like a blessing of sorts, with the past providing a refuge from a shrinking future, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father's hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets, scandals, and suspicions long buried and forgotten. Resurfacing from decades past are mysteries that still have the power to shatter lives--and change everything Joey thought he knew. Especially when a new murder brings the police to his door...Review Quotes

To look after his ailing father, who is suffering from dementia, Joey Green returns to Beaufort, South Carolina to give his overworked mother a break. Joey's father, Marshall, has basically lost all of his short-term memory but his long-term memory seems to be keeping his oldest memories strong and vivid. Marshall's mind keeps taking him back in time, of growing up as a boy in Beaufort. At first glance, this seems like to blessing, providing Marshall a refuge from his shrinking future. However, Joey becomes anxious when his father begins to have hallucinatory arguments with people from his past. Joey notices these hallucinations begin to hint at deadly secrets, scandals, and suspicions that have long been forgotten but could still have the power to destroy lives. Everything that Joey thought he knew is turned upside down, especially when police show up at his door about a current murder. I was a little worried that this one was going to be more of a family drama than a mystery/thriller but I really enjoyed it. It definitely was slow at the beginning, but once things picked up, I couldn't put the book down.
