Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling novelist Nora Roberts captivates millions of fans with her provocative blend of scorching passion and chilling suspense. With Carnal Innocence, she creates a gripping tale of murder, infatuation, and true love in a small southern town. After beautiful concert violinist Caroline Waverly breaks up with her conductor and lover Luis, she escapes to her late grandmother’s home in Innocence, Mississippi. Instead of peace and tranquility, however, she finds the town torn with suspicion over two brutal murders. When she discovers a third victim in the murky waters behind her house, she turns to her dangerously handsome neighbor, Tucker Longstreet, for protection. But Tucker has a reputation for breaking hearts - even worse, the police count him their number one suspect.

You’ll want to lean back in your easy chair and let Nora Robert’s steamy prose and Tom Stechschulte’s stirring interpretation transport you to Innocence where the nights are filled with promise and secrets are hard to keep.

Prepare to be surprised

Very good

I laughed so much for a romantic murder mystery. The killer was a complete surprise to me and I usually figure it out by the middle of the story.

What a great book!!!

Out of my paranormal realm and I don't regret it one bit!! I absolutely love this book!! The narrator, the characters and all just dripping in southern charm. Twists & turns I didn't see coming and I'm a tough one to surprise!! Loved it!!!

The storyline was good, but the performance is what made it hard to quit listening!

Darn near perfect!

Nora and Tom made a perfect pair. Great murder mystery with Southern charm, a great lesson in family values and lots of love and romance. Absolutely worth the credit!

Southern Nora

Nora takes us to Innocence Mississippi, in this tale of love and murder. The heroine, Caroline is believable and like-able because of her faults and idiosyncrasies. The hero, is like-able with his affable ways hiding his true giving nature, and the killer is a surprise!
This story, although slightly dated, shows the finding of love, the strength of character and issues of southern racism without hitting you over the head.
The narrator creates this small southern town, with all it's different characters through his voice, the accents are consistent for each character, so that you can see each person.
I would listen again.

Good story, the best narrator!

Good book, kept me guessing.
The narrator was totally excellent and made this audiobooks great!
His accents and ability to bring the characters to life really made the book!
