About this listen

From beloved author Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller about shattering loss and shocking discovery - set in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains...

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project - fueling rumors that the site is cursed. She must cope with the presence of her irritating - but irresistible - ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well...

Critic reviews

“Suspenseful.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“The literary equivalent of a big delicious meal whipped up by a talented home cook. She offers a dash of exoticism and innovation.... Satisfying.” (Publishers Weekly)

“An electrifying story filled with danger, heartache, love, passion and murder. An amazingly intense and utterly gripping tale!” (RT Book Reviews)

lovely story. excellent reading. I really enjoyed listening to it. Nora Roberts makes kitchen duty go much more sweetly.

An intriguing and compelling story from this wonderful author. Her characters in this story are a little more gritty and raw but still so engaging. I loved the tale albeit a heartbreaking one and how it showed all the different aspects of human nature. I’m so sad it’s over now. The audible narration was excellent.

Great book

The story itself was phenomenal!

But I couldn't listen to it all, because the narration was so awful. The character's voices were hardly distinguishable from each other, which made dialogue difficult to follow. And the lead female voices were ridiculous; Lana'a was breathy like a dodgy Marilyn Monroe impersonation; and Callie's was hard-edged and sarcastic, no matter what she was saying.

Would be much better to just read it yourself!

Fantastic story! Terrible Narration!

I quite disliked the narrator. All voices kinda same, male and female, and often I kept wondering who is talking now. Always breathless, as in angst. oh, come one! Will make a point to miss Ms. Quigley in the future.
The story itself is ok. Nothing notable about it but enjoyable nonetheless.

The story was very good. The narrator’s interpretations weren’t. Which spoiled the story as it didn’t give it the depth it needed. It might have been better if she had just read it without voice changes ,as the men’s voices were no good.

Story good but storytelling not.
