About this listen
#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)

Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

Story
Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature. But there’s also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. She’s been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday.

Wonderful book - narrator not so much. SAMPLE 1ST
Nora Roberts did a fabulous job with this novel - it's a great story, plot build-up tight, loved the characters and their development. It is absolutely one of my favorites of her works.
.....but the narrator. Her voice is scratchy, which should be interesting but is, unfortunately, only irritating. Between the mispronounced words and her habit of making all the characters in a conversation sound all alike and jammed together (often read as if they were all one long sentence) she steals from the flow of the story.
It was a disappointment as it's a marvelous book to read and I was truly looking forward to having this as a "comfort listen" - one of those loved books you can play while doing tasks like driving, gardening, or baking that just feels like visiting with a much-enjoyed friend's company.

Narrator is hard to listen to.
The narrator doesn’t pause where there should be pauses, monotone voice had me replaying parts over again because I’d drift off, and she spoke too fast with no changes in character voices. It made it really hard to finish the book. Story is great, too bad Nora Roberts didn’t hire January Lavoy for this book.

Highly recommended.
Despite the other negative reviews regarding the narrator, I really enjoyed listening to Dean Robertson. She did not try to do both male and female voices. It was as though she was just reading me the book and allowing my imagination to see the characters as I felt they should be. I have previously read all of Nora Roberts books and enjoy them all. I now enjoy listening to them as well. Some of them are difficult to listen to when the narrator does weird voices, accents, baby talk, etc. Carolina Moon is one of my favorites. I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who might enjoy simply having a good book read to them. I quite enjoyed Dean Robertson. She has a lovely voice and a lovely accent.

horrible narrator
Worst narrator I've ever heard! I have listened to all Nora Robert's books under her JD Robb & almost all of her Nora Robert's. I love her writing and the narrators were great. this narrator spoke in a monotone, no intonation, run on manner. while I enjoyed the story, it was hard to listen to as narrator almost ruined the book.

Narrator did not delivered
I read/listen at least one of Nora Roberts books per week. Sometimes, even more. This one is taking me weeks, and I’m still insisting because I never leave a story behind. The narrator does not make distinction among to the characters and it gets confusing more often than not. Sadly, I did not get the pleasure of flowing into the book this time.
