Publisher's summary

New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed knows a best seller when she sees one - even if it is just a tantalizing partial manuscript submitted by a writer identified only as P.M.E., with the return address of an obscure island off the Georgia coast. Maris is intrigued enough to search for him.

Her trip to Georgia to meet the mysterious author takes her to an eerie, ruined cotton plantation, where Maris finds Parker Evans, a man confined to a wheelchair who carefully hides his past. Coaxing his novel from him chaper by chapter, Maris becomes caught up in his tale of two friends who rent a boat with a young woman for a night of sex and drinking. Only one person will return from that trip.

Disturbed about her sexual attraction to Parker and worried about her marriage to author and her co-publisher Noah Reed, Maris returns to New York, where the delivery of Parker's newest chapters convince her they are more than fiction. She wonders how well she knows her husband and begins a harrowing search for a truth that ties back to a terrifying crime and a man who will use her, or anyone, to get his revenge.

Brilliant!

This book has it all, twists, romance and murder! What a brilliant book, one of my Sandra Brown favorites 💜

The plot

I would have liked to know what happened to her husband and more about Parker

terrific

great plot and character development. the reader seems to capture the characters well and is very easy to listen to. this was to me her best book - I liked Alibi as well, but I find some of her other "romance" novels rather cringy. more like this would be awesome

I would give this a "B"

Great concept. Takes too long to establish a real emotional connection between lead characters. Last chapter very cheesy. The crippled man and the older man that lives with him weren't fleshed out until the end. I thought they were lovers most of the book.

I like some Sandra brown when I'm in the mood. I like the cheesy parts too. I must say, skip this and read Slow Heat in Heaven. That is my favorite guilty pleasure book EVER. Definitely better than this. But the last few hours of this were very interesting. So not bad.

fast forwarded thru last third

i didn't return but a bit slow. i had to fast forward thru the end.

Amazing!

This is one of the best books I've read/heard. Kept me on the edge of my (car) seat during my commute. Just as I thought I had things figured out, I find out I couldn't have been more wrong! Absolutely, wonderful!

This is a great book on the drive. The author creates enough entertainment, and enough predictability that you feel like you are so smart. Sandra Brown gives just enough AWAY but keeps enough to herself, so that you continue to listen, and contiue to enjoy. A perfect choice for those who want to be entertained.

Woo-hoo! I couldn't stop listening. Outstanding! 

After a few less-than-fulfilling audiobooks, I was delighted to listen to this highly charged novel. Author Sandra Brown and narrator Victor Slezak blend this suspenseful tale with precise and flawless anticipation and timing. Many relationships are tested - many. This one was a 2-for-1 special, however it is worth a treasured credit. I anxiously look forward to more books by Brown and Skezak. No disappointments here, many surprises and a satisfying and totally unexpected ending! At 39 minutes and 14 hours, I found it hard to take a break. HIGHLY recommended.

A very good book.

The book is full of excitement with twists and turns. It was very much fun to listen to.

Excellent read

This is an Excellent read/listen! It felt slow to start but was worth every second. Sandra Brown never disappoints.
