Resumen del Editor

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night.

At 45, Rosalind Harper is a woman whose experiences have made her strong enough to bend without breaking - and weather any storm. A widow with three grown sons, she survived a disastrous second marriage, and built her In the Garden nursery from the ground up.

Through the years, In the Garden has become more than just a thriving business - it is a symbol of hope and independence to Roz, and to the two women she shares it with. Newlywed Stella and new mother Hayley are the sisters of her heart, and together, the three of them are the future of In the Garden.

But now that future is under attack, and Roz knows they can't fight this battle alone. Hired to investigate Roz's Harper ancestors, Dr. Mitchell Carnegie finds himself just as intrigued with Roz herself. And as they begin to unravel the puzzle of the Harper Bride's identity, Roz is shocked to find herself falling for the fascinating genealogist.

Now it is a desperate race to discover the truth before the unpredictable apparition lashes out at the one woman who can help her rest in peace.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] warmly appealing heroine, resolutely finding her path through a midlife romance that is more complex and hard-fought than 20-something love." (Publishers Weekly)

"Susie Breck has a beguiling way of reaching into stories and making them come alive with her flawless performance." (AudioFile)

book 2 of a ghostly southern romance

The book will stand alone but to get the full impact of the story you really should read all three and in order. Nora Roberts spins a delightful tale of love and romance for a second time around love mixed in with high society southern cultures and ghosts.

Loving me some romance!

I've been a solid fan of Nora Roberts for many years. I've spent a fortune on her books both paper and audio. Prefer audio now because I listen as I sew my quilts. This trilogy "Blue Dahlia, Black Rose and Red Lily" are just one of many favorites. I've read and listened to these more 10 times over the years. I will continue to do so until I'm no longer able.
Nora has an exceptional gift. Keep them coming.

Great narrator

If you want to know how an audiobook should be performed, listen to this trilogy. The narrator is expressive, interesting, and gives each character a unique voice. I listened to these three books over and over. I will definitely be looking for other books she has done. I love Nora Roberts' books, and Susie brings them to life.

A Keeper

Great second part of this trilogy. Romance, gardening and ghosts woven together in enjoyable story

Just Gets Better

Happily, the 2nd book in this series is just as good as the first. Nora knows how to combine mystery, suspense, humor and romance into a memorable story about the Harper family, their gardening business, friendships and even some ghosts.

Highly Recommend!

Wonderful book to listen to. Easy to follow along with. Narrator brings out the characters.

Awesome

Great story, great performance. Loved it! Captivating. Couldn't wait to read the next one in this series.

Great As Normal

Great story as usual. Susie Breck is one of the best narrators for both male and female voices.

My Heroine

Roz is an amazing woman. my favorite part was when she was at the country club and set it up so that Bryce was over heard. I wanted to hi five her right then and there.
