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.

exciting story that was performed beautifully and kept me interested from start to finish.

Slow Start but a Good Read

This book took a while to get my attention but once it had it, it turned into a good story.

So enjoyable!

What does Bernadette Quigley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Bernadette has a quality to her voices that adds to each of the charactors. I especially liked her scottish accents. She did a bang up job!

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this story, I was pleasantly suprised at the writing, not the usual Nora Roberts style. Although I'm a fan of Nora Roberts this one seemed to veer from her venue, it was more realistic than many of her other books.

I enjoyed this book - adventure & romance

I have read many of Nora Roberts books and some I really enjoyed some not so much. I consider this one of her better books. It starts with the sinking of the Lusitano and a small time thief who steals from a man who will perish just minutes later. It's a great story about love, faith, mystery & adventure. It has some wonderful modeled characters. What I did notice though some of the scenes are almost interchangeable and some parts feel like a deja vu reading them, because you read very similar scenes in other books. Solid 4 Star book.

Fantastic Book and Narration

Fun, engaging, and thoroughly satisfying right to the very end. A wild story of revenge and justice mixed with falling in love.

Great Narration

Older Nora Roberts title that tells a great story. She follows her similar formula of 3 people meeting their soul mates. Great character development and story lines with just enough twists to keep you guessing. The narrator stole the show with her accents!

Classic Nora Roberts… before JD Robb

It’s nice to listen to a more classic Nora Roberts book, before she started making many of these standalone novels a true crime book and discovering her penchant for mysteries.

It’s just SUCH a good book!!

Easy mindless read

Not a bad story but nothing to get your blood boiling. Nora Roberts is always a reliable read but I prefer the "In Death" series for audio.

Some hunt for treasure, some romance, some history

I found my first Nora Roberts book too far into the romance category. Based on that, I didn't plan to buy any more. Somehow I bought this one on a sale. My opinion took an about face.

This is an entertaining and easy listen. The bits of history and mythology seem accurate. The attempts to acquire the three fates by several parties and their tactics fit well with current technology and global travel. The romances are secondary to the quest.

The narration flows well, the characters are distinctly different, and the pace is well timed.

Quintessential Nora <br />

Story was engaging, intriguing and so Nora. The narrator had good character distinction but it was overshadowed by her stilted inflection and lack of emotion. It was difficult to focus at times and her lack of engagement mad the character less realistic.
