About this listen

She's pregnant with his child when he deserts her?

Home in 1912 Chicago for the summer, Louise Clifford finds herself, once again, lost in the shadow of her more accomplished sister. When the alluring Texan, Charles Watson, pursues her, she clings to the lifeline he promises. However, after six weeks of bliss, he abruptly leaves.

Hurt and angry, she sneaks away in search of him. Finding him in his hometown of Austin, she's confused to learn he's answering to a different name. Now everything he told her back in Chicago is in question.

She's trapped. She needs him but knows he's not the man she knew. What else could he be hiding?

Looking for some excitement? This one is for you! Louise is always pushed aside in her family, so when her parents bring home a suitor for her sister, and he takes an interest in Louise, she quietly jumps at the chance. Now she finds herself in a predicament which leads to a twisting and turning mystery. DJ Maughan has crafted a little romance and a whole lot of deceit and betrayal. I loved the look at the present as this cold case becomes hot, and the flashbacks to how it all came to be. It's easy to follow, suspenseful and surprising! I truly enjoyed this thriller.

Stephanie Richardson brings it all to life with an amazing performance. She creates all the characters with the voices that fit them. The building up of the story, the passion and suspense all come through with her emotions and nuances. She is the perfect fit and made the listen extraordinary.

Fantastic thriller!
