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.

Awesome book, but sex again !

Beautiful masterpiece, but yet another book that revolves around sex, passion, murder & mystery. STOP WRITING BOOKS ABOUT EVERY CHARACTER HAVING SEX, get to the point !

Cute Story

I enjoyed the book but the last part of the book was kind of corny! The performance was good!

Nora Roberts never fails

Nora Roberts on audible makes my day go quickly. cannot think of a better way to pass the day while tuning the world out

Entertaining story but...

Any additional comments?

I am about half way through the book, and am enjoying the story. It's not a literary great, but it is entertaining. The narrators voice, however, is really annoying. It's nasally and at times sounds like she is really struggling to get the words out of her throat. It is very distracting. I certainly will not buy another book that is narrated by her.

great book

Another suspense novel with a romantic twist. The reader does a great job with all characters giving them their own distinct personality.

wonderful story

I read this book when it came out then listened to it a few years ago. I'd forgotten what a great story this is.

Riveting

Would you listen to Three Fates again? Why?

I will listen again! It was one of those stories that gets better in the telling

What about Bernadette Quigley’s performance did you like?

Oh, she does a wonderful job on changing her voice to match a character.

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

Why, yes, but don't spoil a good story by rushing it!

Easy mindless read

Not a bad story but nothing to get your blood boiling. Nora Roberts is always a reliable read but I prefer the "In Death" series for audio.

Some hunt for treasure, some romance, some history

I found my first Nora Roberts book too far into the romance category. Based on that, I didn't plan to buy any more. Somehow I bought this one on a sale. My opinion took an about face.

This is an entertaining and easy listen. The bits of history and mythology seem accurate. The attempts to acquire the three fates by several parties and their tactics fit well with current technology and global travel. The romances are secondary to the quest.

The narration flows well, the characters are distinctly different, and the pace is well timed.

Quintessential Nora <br />

Story was engaging, intriguing and so Nora. The narrator had good character distinction but it was overshadowed by her stilted inflection and lack of emotion. It was difficult to focus at times and her lack of engagement mad the character less realistic.
