Publisher's Summary

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts deftly blends romance and suspense in this compelling novel of a woman whose career, marriage, and very life are threatened by the truth about her own past.

Emma McAvoy may have grown up in the limelight, but some secrets are hidden in a darkness no light can reach. Now on the verge of a successful career, and having fallen in love with the man of her dreams, Emma is looking to the future. Yet it’s the past that is about to catch up with her.

For Emma, her childhood had been almost like a rags-to-riches fairy tale - until the tragic night that changed her family forever. But what Emma thinks she knows about that terrible night and the man she’s about to marry is only half the truth. The other half is locked away in the last place she’d ever think to look: her own memories. It’s a mystery a handsome and relentlessly driven homicide detective needs to solve in a case that’s haunted him for years - and a secret someone will kill to keep.

Great story

Great story however I almost had to stop listening in the beginning as the narrators voice for the character of the mother was terrible. I am glad I pushed through and kept listening.

Good story, disappointing accents

Nice story set in the 60’s rock era, good plot development. I almost stopped listening because of the very bad English accents by the narrator - it made it very distracting to keep up with the story at times.

Public Secrets

This was an excellent story. It had so many twists and turns and I found myself longing for more. The only part I wished would have been better is the performance. I didn’t care much for the dialect used. I still enjoyed the audiobook very much. Thank you. Toni

Great story but....

I loved the actual book but the narrator was very difficult to listen to. Her voice was just not right for audio books!

Great book

I loved how the story spanned the course of the years. I was worried that with it being such a long book it would drag but I didn’t find that at all. #Audible1
