About this listen

Fans of Lisa Unger and Allen Eskens won’t want to miss this thrilling new suspense novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl Who Was Taken! Hiding her own dark past in plain sight, a TV reporter is determined to uncover the truth behind a gruesome murder decades after the investigation was abandoned. But TWENTY YEARS LATER, to understand the present, you need to listen to the past…

Avery Mason, host of American Events, knows the subjects that grab a TV audience’s attention. Her latest story - a murder mystery laced with kinky sex, tragedy, and betrayal - is guaranteed to be ratings gold. New DNA technology has allowed the New York medical examiner’s office to make its first successful identification of a 9/11 victim in years. The twist: the victim, Victoria Ford, had been accused of the gruesome murder of her married lover. In a chilling last phone call to her sister, Victoria begged her to prove her innocence.

Emma Kind has waited twenty years to put her sister to rest, but closure won’t be complete until she can clear Victoria’s name. Alone she’s had no luck, but she’s convinced that Avery’s connections and fame will help. Avery, hoping to negotiate a more lucrative network contract, goes into investigative overdrive. Victoria had been having an affair with a successful novelist, found hanging from the balcony of his Catskills mansion. The rope, the bedroom, and the entire crime scene was covered in Victoria’s DNA.

But the twisted puzzle of Victoria’s private life is just the beginning. And what Avery doesn't realize is that there are other players in the game who are interested in Avery’s own secret past—one she has kept hidden from both the network executives and her television audience. A secret she thought was dead and buried...

Accused of a brutal murder, Victoria Ford made a final chilling call from the North Tower on the morning of 9/11.

Twenty years ago, no one listened.

Today, you will.

TWENTY YEARS LATER, to understand the present, you need to listen to the past...

Good plot complexity

Intricate twin threaded plots both intricate and woven with good layers and complexity. One you need to concentrate on. I enjoyed it

Very clever story

This started out quite slowly, then gradually thread after thread was added until it became a really complicated, very clever story. There were a few gaping holes, but because the story and narration were so good I managed to pretty much ignore them. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, so much so I listened to it in three days.

Not the top 10 book I was hoping for

This held me to the end, but then I noticed a flaw in the tale, which I can’t disclose as I don’t want to spoil it for others. I got the title from a top ten listing but it wasn’t good enough for that. Also, as is often the case, audio books rise and fall with the narration and I found the narrators voice quite robotic at times.

Good Story, awful narrator

The narrator was just awful. Couldn’t put up with it and I tried as I have read other books by the same author and enjoyed them. Can see why this was in the plus catalog and the others are purchase products

Another fantastic, twist-laden rollercoaster of a read!

This is my third Charlie Donlea book and it’s another fabulous tale. No spoilers but the characters are great, strong plots and sub plots. Nice references to characters from other books which tie in really well. Definitely worth a read!
