Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of redemption and suspense, as a woman haunted by the unsolved murder of her childhood friend returns to her small South Carolina hometown. . . .

Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt—and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child.

Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle—Hope’s older brother and the heir to the family fortune—she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try.

But living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected. Because Hope’s murderer is nearby as well. . . .

“Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern Gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play. . . . This is romantic drama at its best.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I listened to the audiobook, and let me just say that the voice of the narrator, Dean Robertson, was as lively and varied as watching cows graze. I thought of giving up early on because she sounded like she gave up long before she started the book and spoke too quickly. All the female characters had a decent southern dialect but the males didn’t, though from the same area. Everything was read in the same tone making it exceedingly difficult to work out who is saying what. Not making it any easier was NR's choice to frequently change POV's, sometimes just to re-explain a plot point that really needed no further explanation. Had it not been for the narrator, I would have enjoyed the story more.

Really great story. The narrator had a southern accent (very appropriate) but read quickly & difficult to distinguish between characters.

the book was interesting but the narration was extremely tedious. There was no inflection or emotion in the oration.

The book was good. However the narrator completely ruined this for me. They read too quickly without intonation or emotion making the story really difficult to follow . Several times I found myself rewinding to listen to it again due to the narrator’s poor diction

This is a great read. I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts. The Narration is fine and doesn't muddle the story to make you try and figure out who's talking.

I enjoyed the book. Norah Roberts writes so well that I actually felt the humidity curling my hair while I was listening. Narrator kept it interesting. The accents sometimes were a little off but overall I thought she did a good job.
