Prodigal Son

A Novel

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Mel Foster

Twin boys grow up in the same family, in the same town. Dramatically different, they become bitter enemies, even as children: one good, one bad. One leaves his peaceful hometown, but when all else fails, the prodigal son returns twenty years later. The reunion of brothers, sweet and healing at first, exposes shattering revelations of good and evil. Number-one New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel tells a brilliant, suspenseful story of suspicion, betrayal, and a life-and-death struggle for survival. Which twin is good, and which is evil as the tables turn again and again?

PRODIGAL SON

In a matter of days, Peter McDowell loses everything he has worked so hard for - his wealth, his property, his livelihood as a star investment banker. And then it gets worse. The stock market crash not only plunges Peter into joblessness, it causes a rift in his marriage that he cannot repair. Stripped of everything, he has only one place to retreat to: a lakeside cottage he inherited from his parents, who left most of their modest estate to Peter's twin. With no other choice, the prodigal son goes home.

A beloved small-town doctor, a devoted family man, and a pillar of his community, Michael McDowell serves others without regard to personal gain. Only Peter knows how Michael manipulated their parents when the boys were young, ultimately driving Peter away. At first he dreads seeing Michael again. But to his surprise, their reunion is tender and real. Only later, as Peter mulls over his late mother's journals, does the truth begin to emerge, as realization and panic set in. Who is his twin? Is the façade real, or does something terrifying lie beneath? Imagination or a reality too terrifying to believe?

In a race for time, Peter throws caution to the winds to find the truth. What he discovers will change their lives, the lives of their children, and an entire town forever.

Excellent Novel

Danielle Steel nice job at adding crime and mystery into your novels of romance. And the narrator did a great job.

A suspenseful tale with excellent storytelling, brought to life by a narrator who vividly detailed each character.

I felt that some parts of the story were overly long and repetitive, which slowed down the momentum and delayed getting to key moments. But overall it was a great story.

mind blowing

loved it. didn't want to stop reading. qas an awsome ending. would recommend to any fan of a good drama.

Great story

Great story, well told. I enjoyed it and appreciated the purity in it as well.

Wonderful story of crime, loss and finding love.

I really enjoyed this audible book. It is more about crime, drama and so much loss in Peter’s life. The ending was perfect and liked that author didn’t make it a sappy love story.

Prodigal So

Any additional comments?

The good, the bad and the ugly. Two sons in the opposite spectrum. Very good book

prodigal Son the best

this book was creative, sad happy and full of startling moments. Crafty characters and sad situations that we realistic

Probably the best book Danielle Steele has ever written and I have always been a fan.

This audiobook kept me on the edge of my seat. So many times I’m able to predict what is going to happen but not this time. And I loved the length of it. It seemed to be longer than most.

Very enjoyable!

It has been decades since I read a Danielle Steele book, but after this one it won't be that long until the next!!!
