Synopsis

#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)

About Nora Roberts

Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

This is the first Nora Roberts book that I read. It isn't the last. The fact that this book can combine romance, suspense, the supernatural, as well as old Southern charm is a tribute to the author herself. After reading this book, I rushed off to get another. This Southern Belle living in Yankee territory recommends it whole-heartedly.

Great book. I was enthralled, if a little spooked. I hate reading about seriel rapists and murders. It gives me the heebie jeebies, but I had to read it because Nora is my favorite author. I was not dissapointed.

I really enjoyed the plot twist and turns. However I did not like the narrator, there was no or little inflection in the reading. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the book instead of listening. I will watch for this narrator and avoid. But the book was very good

Goodreads review by WhiskeyintheJar on October 27, 2018

I read this for the Murder Most Foul square for Halloween Bingo "So many," Tory whispered. "All were sexual homicides. Raped and strangled. There was no semen. There was some physical violence, particularly in the facial area. That escalates with each victim." "Because their faces aren't right. Thei......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on December 04, 2013

This is one of those I've come to think of as Roberts' "super" romances--they're longer, have a strong family presence (or community or both), and with at least two romances simmering to resolution. This one features the small town of Progress, North Carolina as its setting and is dominated by two f......more

4'5 Estrellitas. Si no ha llegado a las 5 es porque el final ha sido muy rápido y precipitado y he necesitado algo más. Éste libro independiente de Nora Roberts es uno de los que más me han gustado, aun cuando soy más fan de sus series, algunos de sus independientes de suspense romántico están muy bi......more

Goodreads review by Cristina on October 19, 2024

Me ha gustado la historia de amor por el carácter de la protagonista más tímido, es el el que lleva la iniciativa y eso me ha gustado porque me gusta más cuando el protagonista masculino lleva la iniciativa. Pero la verdad no sé en que momento se han enamorado a ella le he visto más evolución pero e......more
