    Story
    "The foreplay gives hints w/o giving ending away"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, this is on my favorites list.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Keeper?

    I never suspected the ending. I love surprises! Great book.


    What does Caroline Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Her voice changes with the emotions of characters and events, where some narrators can be distracting, Caroline Lee just brings you right into the story and you won't want to turn her off.

    Story
    "Story dragged on too long"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I felt that this book dragged on too much. I like Kate Morton but she could tell her story in fewer words and it would still be suspenseful and captivating. I like her stories but felt that it took too long for the plot to work itself out. I would have stopped listening if it weren't such a suspenseful plot.


    Could you see The Secret Keeper being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    I could see it being made into a movie.


    Any additional comments?

    Caroline Lee's voice sounded too Australian to me and when she tried to switch characters, she lost the British accent a lot.

    "Excellent book!"
    Where does The Secret Keeper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This by far is probably the first on my list. I stayed engrossed in it from the beginning to end. Excellent read.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Laurel's tenacity and thougts brought you back to the now and made me feel like I was her and had my same thoughts. Great character.

    When Laurel went back to London and saw the picture of her mother which was actually Vivian. The light bulb went on in my head I had to think back about the entire book, it totally caught me by surprise.


    If you could take any character from The Secret Keeper out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Laurel and Jerry.


    Any additional comments?

    I would recommend this book to all my friends. It truly is a good read, keeps you interested thoughout the entire book.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret Keeper to be better than the print version?

    Absolutely! I loved the British accent which added a dimension of realness to the entire work.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The way the author switched back and forth easily from the present to the past.


    Which character – as performed by Caroline Lee – was your favorite?

    Vivian


    If you could take any character from The Secret Keeper out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Jimmy, who was so good,


    Any additional comments?

    I've never reviewed a book before and I've listened to hundreds. I'm compelled after this listen because I was totally absorbed in the "mystery" of Dorothy Smithim's live. I never expected the ending and loved it. I absolutely would recommend this book.

    "Another wonderful story by a talented writer!"

    Kate Morton is amazing. What a talent she has to be able to create these intricate and captivating stories. This is the fourth of her books I have listened to and I marvel at her talent. I hate it when her stories end, even though they are long by normal standards. All her stories are family oriented with a mysterious and devastating secret - often murder - that is resolved at the end. The narrator, Caroline Lee, has a musical voice that works in different tones and accents for different characters. She is a pleasure to listen to.

    I will look forward to every one of Kate Morton's books in the future.
