    It was kind of long but that means you definitely get your money's worth. The story was beautifully told and there was a real twist at the end, which I love! I am looking for more of Kate Morton.

    "I kept listening, but.."
    What made the experience of listening to The Secret Keeper the most enjoyable?

    I loved listening to Caroline Lee's accent. It really put the picture of the story in my head.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    I am always fascinated with stories of people during the War and how they lived in London at those times. The least interesting to me was that sometimes it seemed to drag on and repeat itself for no apparent reason.


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

    Jimmy.


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

    Jimmy--I want to see his photography.


    Any additional comments?

    Sadly, this was not my favorite book by Kate Morton. I have normally really loved all of her stories, but I found that a lot of this was unnecessary and repetitive description; I disliked the main character Dolly intensely more and more as the story went on; and I also had figured out the ending long before the modern-time main character Lauren had done so. I was also pretty happy about the ending and wished that the way it had come about had happened sooner.

    "a complicated but interesting mystery and history"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    At times I couldn't wait for the story to be over but at other times it was compelling and interesting.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    All the characters were equally portrayed, all equal.


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

    Probably Vivian was my favorite by this artist


    Do you think The Secret Keeper needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    I think Kate Morton is talented but she should try to shorten it a little.


    Any additional comments?

    There were quite a few twists to the story but it took an awful long time to get to them

    "LOVE Kate Morton, this one doesn't disappoint!"
    Would you listen to The Secret Keeper again? Why?

    Absolutely.


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

    I think Jerry, the brother. He was so interesting.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Not laugh or cry, but I did think about it and what the characters were up to when I wasn't listening to it.


    Any additional comments?

    Great book that gives you glimpses of the past, and the tale of the unwinding mystery kept me hooked until the end.

    Story
    "This was a fascinating book!"

    I bought this book in a sale, because it sounded interesting and it was LONG (more hours of "free" listening.), even though I was unfamiliar with the author.

    The story begins in 1961 with 16yo Laurel witnessing a strange crime, and then skips from there to 2011, and back to 1941, weaving all the background, and the "dectective work" that goes into Laurel finally figuring out what happened and why.

    On one level, it's a mystery, on another a romance, and in some places, it is just a story (it drags a little in some places). At times you'll think you've got it all figured out, but there are several key pieces that don't really fall into place till the last minute. It's a really well-crafted story.

    Overall, this is just a really good story, that kept my interest till the end. I used my next credit to buy another Kate Morton book, and hope to find it as good as this one.

    "Complete satisfaction"

    Secret Keeper is the most satisfying novel I've listened to in memory. All the loose ends that don't make sense come together with the final explanation and everything falls into place. It is beautifully narrated as well. This is a 5 star book.

    "Wonderful and whimsical story."
    What made the experience of listening to The Secret Keeper the most enjoyable?

    The story itself was a little slow going, but once you get into it, you can't let go. I don't normally write reviews of books but this one took me by surprise and left me wanting more. I am now hooked on Kate Morton's stories and Caroline Lee is an incredible orator. I can't wait to read another of their books.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I couldn't possibly pick just one character, they were so intertwined that I have to say I loved them all.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I don't want to give the story away. Suffice it to say that when the story unfolded, I was both surprised and delighted at the turn the story took.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I listen to books mostly at night to relax. This book though, kept me wanting to listen to more. I ended up going to bed early to listen to the book to help relax me and put me to sleep and instead, I stayed up late listening to it!


    Any additional comments?

    Great Book. Will listen to many more of her books and just love the sound of Caroline Lee's voice. Couldn't have picked a better orator.

    "Excellent performance, somewhat predictable story"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret Keeper to be better than the print version?

    Having not read the print version I don't know.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Kate Morton? Why or why not?

    I would try another one, the story was entertaining.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The bomb scene


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    When is a secret best left a secret?


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed this story. As I said it was a little predictable but I enjoyed it. I liked the scenes moving between the mother and daughters lives and the way that the sisters interacted. It was very well read with distinguishable characters.
