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.

Possibly One of My Favorites!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book in a heartbeat. It was beautifully written. Although the end was expected, there were many twists and turns that I absolutely loved.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Malachi and Tia were my favorite. I've always had a thing for Irish men and since Gideon smoked, Malachi was my choice. I liked Tia because we saw the most transformation out of her. And together, they made a brilliant pair.

Any additional comments?

Nora Roberts has the ability to make me believe what I'm reading is fact instead of fiction. She took the real life myths of the Three Fates and the real life tragedy of the Lusitania and made a beautiful story out of them. I could almost believe this really happened.

would make a great movie!

All the elements of a exciting story! Fun characters, interesting plot, some history and culture, and just enough romance. I've read most of Nora's books and this one clearly demonstrated her creativity. narrator was perfect!

Nora Roberts is my favorite!!

Story line was great! Narration was great! Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb are always my go to. No matter how many times I have read them!! It is now nice to hear them as I drive!!!

excellent narration

The narrator does a great job of switching between Irish and American accents. A pleasure to listen to this story.

Surprisingly entertaining

This was my first Nora Roberts novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the story and the narrator was delightfully entertaining.

My favorite book

This is definitely my favorite Nora Roberts book ever. The book has a feeling of a trilogy but the characters are so intertwined that you can separate the them. The book has a female for a bad person and that was interesting. The men don’t try to take over.

The Three Fates!

First time reader of Nora Roberts, I did buy this book on sale and I’m glad I did. It was very light and an easy listen. The narrator was pretty good, It was hard to hear the difference in a few of the men characters, her voice was very similar. It is a story that has been told in other ways in movies. I did enjoy the book thou.
I was happy with the way the book ended.

Wonderfully written and read!

Would you consider the audio edition of Three Fates to be better than the print version?

At least as good.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Three Fates?

The correspondence between Jack and his father, witty and brilliantly vocalized.

What about Bernadette Quigley’s performance did you like?

Her masterful command of dialects, her ability to shape shift between a man and woman's voice, the ability to maintain the gist of the narrative through the dialect. Without having to hear the speaker identified I could know who was speaking. And sometimes with three persons in the room speaking animatedly, this had to be difficult to switch.

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

Nope. I wanted it to last, and last, and last. Hated to come to the end.

Any additional comments?

Would love to pick up another just like it immediately. I liked Nora's Witness very much also but this one is the best.

Difficult

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This read was difficult to get into, but after much menutia, the story was gripping.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Fifty Shades of Grey

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Narrator did great with voices. I could determine who was speaking at any point.

Was Three Fates worth the listening time?

the second part of the book was worth it.

Great story

Very enjoyable ...lots of twists and turns....narrator also did an excellent job of the different accents of characters and nuances
