About this listen

A picturesque town. A woman on the run. An undercover agent. The first riveting novel in Catherine Coulter’s #1 New York Times bestselling FBI Thriller series.

Sally Brainerd can’t remember what happened the night her father was murdered. Maybe she did it. Or maybe it was her poor, traumatized mother. Either way, the safest place for her is far away from Washington, D.C. But while her aunt’s home in The Cove should be a quiet refuge, Sally can’t shake the feeling that there’s something not quite right about the postcard perfect little town.

Despite his target’s checkered past and convenient memory loss, FBI Special Agent James Quinlan isn’t convinced she’s the killer—but maybe she knows who is. As he uses his cover to get close to Sally and unearth the memories her mind has hidden away, James can’t deny his connection to the troubled woman. But as their lies and passions intertwine, Sally and James soon learn they aren’t the only ones keeping deadly secrets in The Cove….

Critic reviews

"A truly suspenseful romance." (Amazon.com)
"Fast-paced, solidly structured." ( Publishers Weekly)

This was awful, the plots were laughably over the top the character motivations mind bendingly over the top and badly written. The sheer number of inane repetition of useless character facts that added nothing to the character or plot. First and last book by this author I will be reading.

Over the top plot and inane repetition

Maybe a 13 year old would appreciate the story. I did not. I will never read another book by this author.

Abysmal story, lousy writing
