"Intriguing story with lots of twists"
From the beginning, the story got me guessing and every time I thought I had it figured out, a new twist was introduced. Beautiful descriptions make the story believable and the narration is flawless.
"Who really are those people we call our parents"
The imagery, the fact that the main characters were so human with all their flaws and hopes and the performance was well managed through the various characters and the different times. It made me re-think and appreciate my parents as people.
"Couldn't stop listening!"
This is a great story that keeps you involved as the reader learns what was going on, but not until the end does it all come together.
The unexpected final knowledge and the love of the whole family for each other.
natural accent added so much color to the story.
"I really LOVED this book."
This book was exceptional, I knew there were twists, turns, etc. I thought I knew them...I didn't, you think you are smarter than all the other reviews and think you guessed it, you know you've guessed it, or have a good idea of what's going on, and you really don't. I would definitely recommend this book.
It's hard to listen to at first but keep listening, it is so so worth it. I read a review that said it, and I am so glad that I kept listening. I felt like I knew the characters so well by the end and was very attached to them and the entire story.
Great Book!
"Clever story - kept me riveted to my headphones!"
Yes, I would listen to it again. In fact, I listened to the last four chapters three times already! It was fun to re-listen once you know the secret of the Secret Keeper!
There were so many it's hard to choose but I'd say "Listening with your eyes, your ears, and your heart" is the most memorable moment.
Laurel. With genealogy as one of my biggest hobbies I really related to Laurel's quest to find answers.
The Secret Keeper has become one of my favorite all-time audible books for sure! I wonder if I would feel the same if I had read the hard copy. The audible performance was really outstanding.
"Excellent read!"
I will listen to this book again, lots of hidden clues to the surprise ending.
The narrator made the book come alive. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the book near as well reading it rather than have this narrator tell the story.
"a wonderful listen & story!"
a wonderful story that flitted between eras and kept me guessing. i usually figure out the story before it's revealed but this one was full of twists that i didn't figure it out until just before it was "revealed". loved the narration of caroline lee - her accent and flow really added to the story. a great listen!
"Worth sticking it out for the whole book!"
I'm not a fan of back flashes, but the book depends on seeing both stories and it actually did flow. The ending was worth the listen!
"Make it to the end for the reward"
You will spend the first half of the book wondering why the main character just doesnt ask her mother the question that the second half is spent answering. If you can just chalk up her reluctance to British courtesy and primness and soldier through, you will be rewarded with a charming love story and a twist that wil explain everything.
"Required a lot of patience"
I thought I'd never finish this book. It was a great mystery but I would have enjoyed it more if it had taken 8 to 10 hours to read. Much too long.
