Publisher's summary

When a shocking scandal exposes Southern secrets...

As the blazing heat of summer gives way to sultry September, a shroud of suspicion settles over Noble's Crossing, a sleepy Alabama town. Nothing is as it seems - and never will be again. Lane Noble Graham stands accused of murdering her ex-husband. The one man who can help, Johnny Mack Cahill, vowed never to return to the town that scorned him - or the woman whose love he knew he didn't deserve.

...no one is safe from cold-blooded murder.

From the rusted-out trailers on the wrong side of the river to the stately pillared mansions along Magnolia Avenue, everybody has something to hide - but one secret could make Lane and Johnny Mack the next targets of a twisted killer who's struck once and is bent on striking again....

After Dark

This was a great book! The characters were so well developed right at first, so you knew who needed protecting and defending. I recommend this book to all readers!

An OK Book, not great

The female lead was a wimp. She wasn't that likeable. she was way too clingy to the son. The male lead was OK, but too subservient to the female lead. drama was too predictable. I did complete the book, but not impressed.

Quite the mystery

Full of suspense. Fleshed out characters. You feel like you really get to know them. Of course the narrator enhances the characters by bringing them to life. And she did that. I always knew who was talking. Old Southern family money, murder and cover-ups. Great twists and turns. Well worth the listen and I'll get more of this authors book in the future.

Good!

Caught my attention right away, and every time I thought I had it figured out, something new happened.

The story was hurt by a lack of understanding about how law enforcement and the legal system works.

Thus the conclusion left a lot of loose ends. In theory, you know who did what, but not really.

keeps you guessing

story was good and held my interest. I just don't understand why authors feel they need to put so much explicit sex in the book. that's why I enjoy books by David Baldacci so much, he writes stories that hold your interest without all the sex.

This was a great book with passion and steamy romance but way too much repetition of.. 15 years.. we figured out it had been 15 years. Still a good listen

Great story of love, mystery, and old Southern charm!

I recommend this book to any Southern woman for sure! This was a great story of redemption and righting many wrongs.
I’ve seen some negative reviews regarding the sexual content, I believe this book is very mild considering some romance novels and not near as vulgar! The passion between Lane and Johnny Mac was beautiful! I enjoyed ever part of this book!
