Her sister's mysterious disappearance will lead her to a deadly secret . . .

Caroline Verlaine knows something is wrong. Her sister has gone missing, and no one can tell her why. The only option is to go where Roma was last seen—an estate with a deadly history.

The Stacy family has lived off the Dover coast for generations, carefully navigating the treacherous quick sands nearby. But the sands aren't Caroline's biggest threat. Everyone here has a secret, especially the enigmatic young heir Napier Stacy. No matter where Caroline turns, the ground she walks is dangerous. And the closer Caroline comes to unraveling the truth, the closer she comes to sharing her sister's fate.

I’ve been a Victoria Holt fan since I was a teenager and decades later I’m enjoying her gothic stories in audible format. I wasn’t too fond of the female reader doing the male voice. I wished it was read by an actual male voice. Otherwise the reader was very good.

Elegantly gothic and mysterious

The narrator is unrealistically naive, and although, not overly long, the story drags. There is also unnecessary repetition, like there's a word quota.

Subpar Story

I seriously don’t understand why there aren’t a full collection of her books on audible. So popular and well-loved. I discovered her in middle school reading Lord of the Far Island and then as many more as I could find. 40 years later and after so many tv series, dramas, other authors, I still come back to look at her collection. I want The Time of the Hunter’s Moon, The Judas Kiss, The Black Opal, Lord of the Far Island, Will You Love Me in September, Pride of the Peackock, House of a Thousand Lanterns…and more, pronto! Love listening to her in the car…

More of her books!

I love that her books have a little romance and a little mystery and this one is no different. Kept me interested throughout. I enjoyed the the narration, her voice was easy to listen to.

One of my favorite authors
