Resumen del Editor

There’s only one thing more dangerous than family secrets.

Since her police-officer husband Eric’s mysterious murder, Carly Harris has been struggling to support herself and their infant son. Her career as an antique dealer isn’t sustainable, nor is her dream of becoming a novelist. So when her grandmother proposes she and her two sisters restore the family’s large Beaufort home and turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, she immediately gets to work clearing out the house. In the process, she uncovers a family secret that Eric kept hidden. And an heirloom that the wrong person wouldn’t hesitate to kill for.

Homicide detective Lucas Bennett isn’t his neighbor’s biggest fan, not since she broke his brother’s heart years ago. But when Carly turns to Lucas for help, believing she’s found a lost Fabergé egg that would be worth millions and that could put her family’s lives in danger, he can’t help but get involved. Soon, they’re entangled in a mystery with threads that lead all the way to the Russian mafia. Lucas has gotten in deep, and while he trusts his ability to keep Carly and her family safe, he begins to realize he’s vulnerable to an unexpected kind of danger. And he’s helpless to stop the freefall. As they continue working closely together, Carly and Lucas realize they may have found something more precious than gold. Yet it’s only a matter of time before Carly—or, worse, someone she loves—gets hurt.

I have loved Colleen Coble since I found a book written by her at a book store that was marked down. Now I would buy any book with her name on it. This book was the best book I’ve listened to in a long time. Thank you C Coble you are great. Wish you could write faster.

A wonderful suspenseful mystery!

Colleen Coble is one of my favorite authors! She paints a picture in my mind so realistic I can believe I am there! I love the history behind the plot and the individuality of the characters. I especially liked how she weaves the heroine’s faith and the thread of how she trusts God in every part of her life. A wonderful suspenseful mystery!

Her best book yet!

I didn’t expect the book to go and turn out the way it did. I cannot compare it to any of her other books. Make sure you get this book!

Just okay

I have read every Colleen Coble book she has written and this is my least favorite.

Fantastic Mystery

Fantastic weave of mystery, intrigue and love. The narrator was perfect. I enjoyed her inflection and accents. Colleen kept me interested from the first word to the last!

68 is not ancient

Most of my friends are in their 60’s and 70’s and we all talk like normal people, not like some craggy-voiced ancient woman. The voices used for the twin sisters was ridiculous. Also, references made about them “…not sure she could with the shock at her age…” (or some like that) was offensive as well. It smelled of ageism.

That being said, the story held my interest in a 3-star sort of way.
