Resumen del Editor

Two-time Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author!

A chilling story set in a former Magdalen Laundry in Manhattan that explores today’s #MeToo complexities.

"In a twisting, mesmerizing story that is as beautifully written as it is utterly propulsive, Goodman keeps us breathlessly turning the pages right to the shocking and poignant end. I absolutely loved this layered and moving novel!” (Lisa Unger, New York Times best-selling author)

You’re never really alone

Journalist Joan Lurie has written a seething article exposing a notorious newspaper tycoon as a sexual predator. But the night it goes live, she is brutally attacked. Traumatized and suffering the effects of a concussion, she moves into a highly secure apartment in Manhattan called the Refuge, which was at one time a Magdalen Laundry. Joan should be safe here, so how can she explain the cryptic incidents that are happening?

Lillian Day is Joan’s new 96-year-old neighbor at the Refuge. In 1941, Lillian witnessed a mysterious murder that sent her into hiding at the Magdalen Laundry, and she hasn’t come out since. As she relates to Joan her harrowing story, Joan sees striking similarities to her own past.

Melissa Osgood, newly widowed and revengeful, has burning questions about her husband’s recent death. When she discovers a suspicious paper trail that he left behind, she realizes how little she knew about her marriage. But it seems Joan Lurie might be the one who has the answers.

As these three lives intersect, each woman must stay one step ahead of those who are desperate to make sure the truth is never uncovered.

The best use of a credit in a long time

Wow!! What a great story. It resonates for today and the past. It really gets it.

Such a good story

I don’t read a lot, and I definitely don’t read a lot of fiction. Typically, I don’t find fiction interesting enough to keep my interest.. This book was The opposite of that, and was a REALLY good story, especially the end was magnificent. Highly recommend, even if, like me, this is not the type of book you normally read.

Wonderful story

Best story I’ve read in a long time. Twists and turns and an unexpected ending. Loved the story and the reader.

Held my attention from the first minute

It’s been some time since I’ve enjoyed a book as much as this one. Murder mystery only starts to describe it but I can’t say more because I don’t want to give it away. I would give 100 stars if I could!

Me Too Redux

This novel is a compilation of Me Too headlines with a dash of ghost story and a smidge of Harlequin and a pinch of history. Although that description may not sound appealing, it was a good, well written story that mostly kept my attention...in the way that a good episode of Law and Order keeps me engaged. All the twists were neatly tied by the which I appreciate. Narration was well done with distinguishable characters.

Really well crafted!

I was hooked right from the start and couldn’t stop listening! Very well put together. I love Lillian!

awesome book

what a unique book! it was happy. sad, and just a wonderful read. you should definitely read it.

It's worth the listen.

Fantastic listen can't wait to hear it again great story great writing. Definitely worth the credits.

Great listen!

First time listening to this author and looking forward to exploring more! Narrator was great too!

Great Story

I enjoyed this book very much. I liked that the author intertwined history, ghosts, and mystery into a present day setting. The description on audible did not do the book justice.

I did not like that the author hinted at her political views. When I read for entertainment, I want politics out of the story, whether I agree with them or not.

I did still like the book and would recommend it to others. It was good story.
