A Chance Encounter

By: J.P. Pomare

Narrated by: Maddy MacRae

In an encounter straight out of fiction, Katie might have met Mr Right on the long-haul flight from Melbourne to New York. Richard Sinclair is charming, handsome, wealthy, cultured—and married. In an open marriage, according to him. When he invites her to join him in his lush lakeside villa in Italy as his son’s au pair, it might just be the opportunity for a reset that Katie has been longing for.

The mansion at the edge of Lake Scanno is a romantic’s dream. But despite the perfect golden afternoons, tranquil waters and luxurious surrounds, all is not what it seems. In the nearby village, there are ominous rumblings about ghosts, drownings and the tragic fate of the women who came before her. What dark depths of obsession and betrayal will Katie uncover in this fairy-tale paradise? And when all the secrets and lies are unburied, will she be able to live with the devastating consequences of her choices?

Great twists in the story!

Excellent voice actor and great twists and turns in the story. I will look into other works by this author!

It stayed good

Great writing, incredible narration, I couldn’t stop listening. Very few audible plus stories pull me in that hard.

A Chance Encounter

I enjoyed this story very much. I appreciate the determination and dedication of the sisters love and the truth of what happened to her sister. The author made it come to life. I think he is a brilliant author.

Good story line

The story sets you up in the beginning thinking one thing and then slowly turns into another direction.

Entertaining Listen

Entertaining enough to keep me listening all the way through as I worked. It wasn’t a profound ending or anything. Fairly predictable, but still keeps you guessing until the very end.

I don’t like the perspective it’s written in. It may as well have been written in 1st person, since the only perspective you get it the protagonists anyway.

It’s a good listen if you just want something entertaining.
