Publisher's summary

Bellamy Lyston was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy's fear of storms is a legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene along with her memory of what really happened during the day's most devastating moments.

Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, best-selling novel based on Susan's murder. Because the book was inspired by the tragic event that still pains her family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect them from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact, Bellamy's identity is exposed along with the family scandal.

Moreover, Bellamy becomes the target of an unnamed assailant who either wants the truth about Susan's murder to remain unknown or, even more threatening, is determined to get vengeance for a man wrongfully accused and punished.

In order to identify her stalker, Bellamy must confront the ghosts of her past, including Dent Carter, Susan's wayward and reckless boyfriend - and an original suspect in the murder case. Dent, with this and other stains on his past, is intent on clearing his name, and he needs Bellamy's sealed memory to do it. But her safeguarded recollections - once unlocked - pose dangers that neither could foresee and put both their lives in peril.

As Bellamy delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Susan's slaying, she discovers disturbing elements of the crime which call into question the people she holds most dear. Haunted by partial memories, conflicted over her feelings for Dent, but determined to learn the truth, she won't stop until she reveals Susan's killer.

That is, unless Susan's killer strikes her first....

Surprisingly, a huge disappointment

This started out as an enjoyable listen with one of my favorite narrators, Stephen Lang. Author Sandra Brown leads us on an years’ old murder investigation. One slight annoyance was with female character Bellamy as she seemed to whine. At first, I thought I could finish it. Nooooooo. I know who the murderer is and I have hours to go. I just wanted it to end, so I ended it. I’ve enjoyed Brown’s books before, however, as this story resumed, I found the characters had no chemistry, were uncomfortable and the storyline convoluted. I wouldn’t waste a credit. Glad it one was a 2 for 1 special. Still, I won’t give up on Brown or Lang.

great story

Easy to listen to. Fast moving. Great character development. I highly recommend. The narration was superb.

Really enjoyed this book

Lots of twists and turns making this book hard to put down. Good story line. Thanks Sandra Brown!

Stormy mystery

Another “who done it?” But 18 years can do a number on your memory.... she wrote the book on the personal tragedy, but how accurate can it be when you were only a child at the time of the murder... Bellamy writes what she believes is the true events, but as her identity is revealed and the characters from the story take interest, she need to find the truth of what she can’t seem to know about the death of her promiscuous sister.
Great characters are a part of this book and narration is perfect by Mr Lang. I can never say no to a Sandra Brown mystery, or Stephen’s voice.

involved plot with lots of twist and turns. likeable characters with depth. Happy ending for protagonist.
loved it.

Great book that keeps you guessing!

I loved the book. It pulled me in and had me guessing until the very end. Loved all the twists and turns it took. Went through many emotions in the stories within the story. I did not love the narrator. His voices did not change much and what he had did not really fit the character in my opinion. Despite that, I would highly recommend this book!!!

Loved it didn’t want to stop listening

Just enough characters to keep you busy trying to figure who did what Some don’t like the romance side of her books but I like it.
