Thirteen years ago, Jori Trahan’s boyfriend vanished without a trace. Now, after moving back home to Alabama to care for her ailing grandmother and autistic brother, she comes face-to-face with the deadly mystery behind his disappearance. Jori has a rare form of synesthesia, meaning she can “hear” colors; to her, tones of voice are as unique as fingerprints. With the help of this ability and a sympathetic cop, Jori comes dangerously close to uncovering the truth. But those responsible will go to any length - including murder - to keep their dark secrets buried.

Interesting Listen
The author and narrator were new to me. This is a very well written story that is Women's Fiction and some Romance with the mention of ghosts. The premise of the book was complex which intrigued me. Parts of the story moved fast while others were slow. I have been listening to mystery and thriller books lately, so this wasn't as gripping as I was expecting. Overall, I thought it was very good and would listen to more by both the author and narrator.

Touching
The story is of the things we do that forever haunt us. Decisions we make when we are young that change us. And families that are dysfunctional and yet are all we want. Perfect yet have hidden secrets. There is a little for everyone. Maybe predictable to some yet still worth the time to read. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Any additional comments?
This women’s romance/fiction book began as two parallel stories. The reader meets Casey who runs a bakery on the quaint Devil’s Back Island on the North-Eastern coast. Angela returns home to St. Nabor Island off the South Carolina Coast following her mother’s death. Neither seems to have a common thread with the other.
As Angela begins to sort through her mother’ affairs she begins to believe that she is haunted by her Mother’s unsettled ghost. Answers lead to more questions.
Each woman’s story unfolds and keeps the reader interested to learn what happens next and wondering how the two stories come together. This is a lovely story telling how decisions can become clouded ad truths come to light. It will keep you interested until the end.

I wasn't sure?
I have to admit, when I started this book I just wasn't sure. I was underwhelmed by the narration and the first few paragraphs. Typically if I'm not entranced by the first sentence I find myself drifting through the entire book, only half listening. By Chapter 3 I realized I was eager for any opportunity to push play. It didn't take long for me to fall comfortably into these characters.
I was pleasantly surprised by the 'surprise' connection of the characters and the parallel stories in this book. I was a bit disappointed in myself that I didn't figure out the connection sooner. I'm usually not surprised by your typical twists and have figured it out long before the author confirms my suspicions. This one kept me curious and I realized the twist was coming about 5 minutes before the author dropped the final clues. Well done!
Narration, while not initially impressive, easily became the perfect flow, voice and tone for these characters. Becket Royce brought these characters to life for me and I couldn't imagine Casey, Rosetta or Angela any other way.
Overall, well done. I will re-read.

Enjoyable contemporary with paranormal elements.
Any additional comments?
Overall Rating - 4.5 Stars.
What She Inherits by Diane Mulligan is an enjoyable contemporary romance with a few paranormal elements interwoven into the story. Considering how many Ghost Hunter-type shows are on the television these days, I thought the premise of the story quite clever.
The story centers around Angela Ellis who suddenly withdraws from college after her mother's untimely death. With her father in an assisted living facility suffering from Alzheimer’s, Angela feels quite alone especially after she starts hearing strange voices in her family home in South Carolina. While visiting her father one day, Angela discovers that her parents held deep secrets and previous lives that she never knew about.
There is also secondary story that alternates with Angela’s story. This one revolves around Casey Seaver who runs a café and bakery in Maine's Casco Bay. It is obvious that Casey was a troubled youth and someone who has been running away from something for the past 20 years. When a developer comes to town with big ideas on how to make the sleepy little island a destination resort, Casey is suddenly awakened from her 20-year slumber.
While the alternating stories seemed to jump around and interrupted the flow of the overall story, I really enjoyed how the two plot lines intertwined at the end. I also appreciated how Angela sought help from a local ghost hunter, who just happened to be someone who admired her from afar in middle school -- that plot line was very sweet and satisfying.
I listened to the Audible version of this story, which was narrated by Becket Royce. She did an outstanding job. Her style is very natural and conversational, and she uses differing voices for each of the characters. Becket had great intonation and pace, and kept the story suspenseful throughout. I received a free copy of this audio and freely leave this unbiased review. In summary, I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys contemporary romance, with a hint of the supernatural.
