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.

Interesting once you get into it.

I enjoyed the story line once it got going. For the first several chapters I wondered if I had made a mistake purchasing this book. I thought the narration was good capturing different voices so it was easy to distinguish which character was speaking. The plot line had a nice twist to it.

Sanctuary: suspense, love, terror

Many twists & turns; never know what's going to hit you next. Don't try to figure out out, just go with it. Fasten your seat belt and hold on!

Romanced out

Not her best work. The love scenes got old quick. Good story but could have been half as long and would have been better.

Sanctuary

A story of love, murder and stalking that spans decades intertwined with a who done it that doesn't reveal it self until the very end.

Predictable but a good read

I don't dislike Sandra Burr, but she is also not my first pick a narrator. Then again narration is in the ear of the listener. I have read numerous complaints about Tanya Eby but I find her a delight to listen to. As far as the story goes it was good and I liked the characters, but it was predictable. That being said I will most likely listen to it again some rainy afternoon where I don't want to concentrate to hard.

Good read but narration was odd

Creative story. Loved the details from the author. The narrator used annoying accents and also a weird creepy voice and tunnel sound for characters from the past. It distracted from the story. However, I do recommend the print version if interested.

Lovely story!

I really enjoyed the story. The narration was perfect and the story was romantic and mysterious. I found myself thinking of gone with the wind several times throughout the story. I listened to it twice! Thank you Nora Roberts.

bad quality recording but great story

i purchased this book on sale for 5$ ... the quality of the recording really was hard to get used to at first. not that she wasn't good at narrating but I think it's an older book and technology wasn't what it is today with the sound quality. I'm glad I kept listening to it because the book was good. definitely worth listening to. great story plot

Even better than Nora Roberts usually is!

I love Nora Roberts novels! I don’t see how she keeps coming up with new plots, new twists, new exciting adventures!
Sanctuary was outstanding!!!

The past only shapes the present if you let it

This is a story of how perceptions and fears generated in childhood can and do shape adulthood - but only if you let it! Nora Roberts illustrates wonderfully how reflection and considered responses can change our lives in a very profound and positive way. She also shows how lives are inextricably intertwined and that oftentimes the ripples of comments / actions are unknown but can have a change someone else's life forever.

A story of understanding, love, forgiveness, generosity of spirit - all the positive things of the human condition contrasted against the very essence human depravity.
