À propos de cet audio

From Jennifer Donnelly, the critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling author of A Northern Light and Revolution, comes a mystery about dark secrets, dirty truths, and the lengths to which people will go for love and revenge. For fans of Elizabeth George and Libba Bray, These Shallow Graves is the story of how much a young woman is willing to risk and lose in order to find the truth.

Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon - like all the girls in her class - she’ll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo dreams of becoming a writer - a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly.

Wild aspirations aside, Jo’s life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: Her father is found dead. Charles Montfort shot himself while cleaning his pistol. One of New York City’s wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper and was a partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far too smart to clean a loaded gun.

The more Jo hears about her father’s death, the more something feels wrong. Suicide is the only logical explanation, and of course people have started talking, but Jo’s father would never have resorted to that. And then she meets Eddie - a young, smart, infuriatingly handsome reporter at her father’s newspaper - and it becomes all too clear how much she stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. But now it might be too late to stop.

The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort could ever have imagined, and this time the truth is the dirtiest part of all.

Enjoyed this book very much

Listen on a long road trip kept me entertained and awake for my long drive. I really didn’t want to stop listening when I reached my destination.

A GENRE FOR TEENS

… if you were looking to read a book similar to the Nancy Drew series that I read when I was a teenager than this book is for you! However, as I am now in my 60s, I really did not appreciate the read and found it a serious digression of style from this author’s Tea Rose Trilogy which were amazing!!. I found the narrator here to be bland and boring to be perfectly honest, and the story was very predictable from very early on. This is one of two books I read ( well I simply cannot complete —Revolution) authored by Jennifer Donnelly. The quality and genre have changed and most of her other books ( if not all) seem to be geared toward a younger audience, which is fine if that’s what you’re interested in, but they are simply not for me!

Entertaining story. perfect for long trips.

I enjoyed this story and the characters in it. I found the character development was full and rounded. I found some of the story a bit predictable but in all completed nicely and left one feeling balanced.There were historical references which were interesting as well. All in all an enjoyable story.

Excellent all the way to the end

I am really enjoying all the twists and turns that Jennifer brings to life with her characters. Always the anticipation is the best.

SO GOOD

I’m have enjoyed every title I have read by this author. I don’t even read the synopsis or check the other reviews. I immediately grab it up and have never been disappointed.

Glad it’s over

I have never rolled my eyes as much as listening to this book. And the narration was so irritating as to be almost unlistenable. Surprised myself by hanging on to the end.
