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.

Highly recommended

Very unlikely but a fun read with a a lot of imagination! Accents sometimes questionable

So much fun!

Would you listen to Three Fates again? Why?

Yes, definitely! This book, with its great narrator told an exciting story complete with murder, adventure and of course love.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved all the characters in this book. All were individual all had a story of their own and all had personality!!

What about Bernadette Quigley’s performance did you like?

She was amazing. Her reading was superb, & the characters individual. You knew who was talking by the change of her voice. No character sounded the same.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No. I loved the whole book. Once I started I had a hard time putting my Ipod down. I think I finished the book in 3 days.

good

quite distracting since the narrator could not perform male voices. it made it hard to follow.

Great listen!

Once again Nora Roberts has come through with a great book. Bernadette Quigley was perfect. Thank you.

So disappointed! Don’t waste the credit!

I LOVE Nora Roberts! I haven’t come across one of her books I didn’t like… until THIS ONE. I made it to chapter 4. It is SO BORING. I have had to rewind this so many times because my mind starts wandering while I’m listening. The narration is great, hence the 3 stars for overall, but this story just straight up SUCKS. SUPER disappointing.

Very enjoyable listen -

What made the experience of listening to Three Fates the most enjoyable?

Most importantly the narrator's pleasant voice, and her good use of differences in the characters. The story line had enough tension and romance to keep you listening for a good while.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened for several hours at a time while I worked, but at some point I had to reluctantly leave off to attend to matters that needed my attention.

Great

I really enjoyed this book. Couldn't stop listening. The plot was well written. Ensemble characters were great.

overall enjoyed

great story but
the voice of the
narrator was grating and a bit hard to listen to.

Fun story, boring narrator.

This is a typically fun La Nora romantic caper: action, a little history, a villain you love to hate. I do recommend the book. But the narrator...eesh.

She's not quite monotone, but not far from it. Every character sounds bored, no matter how tense or passionate the situation. It is often hard to distinguish one voice from another (male or female) in a conversation. And she needs to be kept far, far away from any sort of British accent.

In short, I wish I had gotten this book from the library, because I will not ever listen to it again. And I will definitely be avoiding Bernadette Quigley from now on.

Really enjoyed this book.

This was a great listen. The characters were well developed and dialogue was very good. Absolutely enjoyable read with great narration. Would recommend
