Summary
Her family's cottage on the New Jersey shore was a place of freedom and innocence for Julie Bauer - until her 17-year-old sister, Isabel, was murdered. It's been more than 40 years since that August night, but Julie's memories of her sister's death still shape her world. Now someone from her past is raising questions about what really happened that night. About Julie's own complicity. About a devastating secret her mother kept from them all. About the person who went to prison for Izzy's murder - and the person who didn't. Faced with questions and armed with few answers, Julie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the complex emotions that led to one unspeakable act of violence on the bay at midnight.

Shockingly bad narrator!
I managed to persevere 10hours of listening but couldn’t stomach the final 4!
This was my first experience of this author and whilst I had an interest in the characters and where the story would take me, the narrator spoilt it.
I think I’d rather read this as a book than listen to it.
Don’t waste your time buying an audio copy.

My first Diane Chamberlain book
Any additional comments?
I shall certainly look out for other books by this author. The lives of two generations of a couple of families who have adjacent holiday homes are intertwined over a period of more than 50 years, encompassing great sadness, a never completely solved mystery and, eventually, understanding and contentment. The main characters (mostly female) are both likeable and interesting and, though the story frequently meanders through the minutiae of their lives, I never lost interest. The narrators all did sterling work.

Easy listening
I enjoyed the story, as I always do with a Diane Chamberlain book. My only complaint would be that one of the narrators read quite fast so I had to slow the speed down slightly so I could keep up without feeling out of breath!

very bad narration off putting didn't enjoy
I asked for a refund the narrator was terrible and constantly said 'he said she said' I have listen to 3 of the authors other books and they were great so this is a real shame narrator should be sacked!
