Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a seductive and suspenseful novel of dangerous liaisons and family betrayals....

Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaney - who was on the island the summer her mother disappeared - Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all.

I liked the narrator

I did not enjoy this audiobook. It seemed like it went on and on with no reason except to get words on the page.

Mediocre not up to Nora Roberts usual expectations

The plot is predictable. The main heroine is not as likeable and was on my nerves as the story progressed. I did like the woman doctor. I finished this book but it was tough. I suppose if I am going to read about the south I should stick to southern writers they get the feel of the south, the tempo of speech and capture the way southern people think and talk in their own time and place. This book missed everything southern. As to just reading a good Nora Roberts yarn this was so off her usual style I wondered if she wrote it.

Mystery, sex, murder then more sex.

I found it odd that this book felt like it was more about sex and passion than solving the damn mystery.
