Publisher's summary

When the Lusitania sank, more than 1,000 people died. One passenger, however, survived to become a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief but keeping a small silver statue that would become a family heirloom to future generations.

Now, nearly a century later, that heirloom, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched away from the Sullivans. And Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca Sullivan are determined to recover their great-great-grandfather's treasure, reunite the Three Fates, and make their fortune.

The quest will take them from their home in Ireland to Helsinki, Prague, and New York and introduce them to a formidable female professor whose knowledge of Greek mythology will aid them in their quest; to a daring exotic dancer who sees the Fates as her chance at a new life; and to a seductive security expert who knows how to play high-tech cat-and-mouse. And it will pit them in a suspenseful fight against an ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to acquire the Fates.

Nora at her best!

I do not know why I haven’t read this before now, but I loved the story and as usual, Nora’s character’s take on a life of their own. She makes the reader want to know these people and be part of the story! Well done again Nora!

A new variation

Nora Roberts has a certain formula for her mysteries that include three women and three men that in some way "find" each other during the course of the story. This book was no exception however the circumstances gave it all a new twist. I am a fan so that format doesn't prevent my enjoyment of a story well told. This story had more mystery to it that some I have also enjoyed in the past. I liked this one very much and would highly recommend it to Nora Roberts fans or anyone who has not read any of her other books too.

Great story!

I had a little bit of a tough time getting to the story for the first 15-20 minutes but I stayed committed and I was not disappointed.

Could be a movie

A story that keeps you listening. The reader does a great job with different voices for different characters. It’s worth your time!

Main character mispronunciation

So Malachi. It’s “mal-ack-eye”. Not “mal-ack-eee.” He’s a main character, and it’s like fingernails against a chalkboard every time the reader says it.

Great book — one of my all time Nora Roberts favorites, which is why I used a credit on this. Blargh.

loved it

truly enjoyed the story line and the narrator.
I will definitely continue to listen to Nora Robert's stories.

Don’t know what’s better the story or the narration!!!

This is the best book I’ve listened to so far. The narration of amazing. Ms. Quigley’s ability to change range based on character is nothing short of amazing. Even female character has a unique sound and, even better, the male characters don’t sound forced. Meaning her performance is so good you are able to focus on the character and not get distracted by a woman trying to sound like a man as we deal with in some narrations. Keep up the great work!!!

Fantastic, Fascinating Fates

An artistically woven story of a series of events that begins with historic tragedy, sacrifice, and redemption that then reaches into the present. The intricacies is the plot draw one into the lives of many fine and diverse characters. The pace carries the reader forward, yet one wishes the end of the book came much later. The narrator makes the characters come to life, and gives the reader more than one could expect. Excellent and unforgettable as all is brought together in a strong finale.

The fate of the Fates

I couldn't stop listening. I walk in the morning and the book got me up and out anticipating what was going to happen next. You're gonna love the story.

STORYLINE WELL TIED TOGETHER WITH MANY FACETS

THE BEST PART OF THIS BOOK WAS THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR PAST. OVERALL NOT MY FAVOURITE NORA ROBERTS BOOK BUT STILL WORTH LISTENING TO .
