About this listen

Family secrets never stay buried…

1951, Ireland

On the windswept Cork coast, the lighthouse-keepers’ wives wait, watching the sea. Their husbands are coming home. But one secret can never be revealed.

2023, Maine

Decades later, Mollie Kenefick receives an anonymous note: Family secrets never stay buried. The only person she can ask is her grandmother – however, Beth made a vow that she swore never to break.

But someone knows what happened that summer in 1951, and it seems they’re not happy keeping silent . . .

Carmel has done it again!

A dual storyline and mystery set in Ballycotton in 1951 and current time.
The female characters from 1951 were brilliantly portrayed and I felt transported back in time.
Molly returns to Ballycotton hiding from her life and is caught up in solving a puzzle involving the Lighthouse keeper's wives in 1951
I loved this story and the narration was perfect

A brilliant dual timeline story that will pull on your heart strings
