There's a body buried behind a Mississippi farmhouse. Grace Montgomery knows who it is, and she knows why it happened. She was only 13 the night it all went wrong. And now, like then, she has no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Grace left the town of Stillwater 13 years ago, trying to forget, trying to make good. As an assistant D.A. in Jackson, she's finally achieved the success that was supposed to change her life. But it hasn't, so she's come back to confront her own history. Which means returning to the farmhouse now owned by her brother and facing the people of Stillwater, a number of whom suspect the truth.

Widower Kennedy Archer is one of those people. He's running for mayor and needs to stay as far away from Grace as possible. And yet, she's an enigma he can't resist. Even though her enemies are close to finding out what really happened...and that could ruin them both.

Critic reviews

"Compelling...Novak expertly mixes her usual superior characterization with a chilling sense of evil as she pairs up a complicated heroine with a dark past with a caring, honorable man who gives her hope for the future." (Booklist)

I thought this novel was a little slow moving, a little too sappy and, at times, couldn’t wait for it to end. A little boring....3 1/2 stars really. But, much to my surprise, the story ends on an intriguing note, and now I want to listen to the next book in the series to see what happens!

I found the narrator somewhat annoying. Some of her accents irritated me, and her voice for Teddy, one of the little boys in the story as well as probably my favorite character, was too high and strained, and left a lot to be desired.

However, I will probably go on to the next in the series although I wasn’t planning on it because, suddenly, as I mentioned above, the story ends on a very intriguing note.

I liked the ending!

While the Romance Package seems like a good deal for those of us who are addicted to audiobooks, the truth is that the selection of books are, mostly, not the best available. It's a whole lot of misses before you get the hits. I think that most of them are a way for Audible to make some money off the least rented titles. This Brenda Novak series is pretty entertaining. Not the greatest I have read but nice entertainment, especially on a long road trip.

One of the better series in the Romance Package

I almost quit listening because the Southern accents and character voices got on my last nerve. Glad I persisted but also happy to hear that the next book in the series has a different narrator.

Great story, awful narration.
