Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature. But there’s also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. She’s been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday.

Publisher's Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of redemption and suspense, as a woman haunted by the unsolved murder of her childhood friend returns to her small South Carolina hometown....
Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child.
Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.
Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle - Hope’s older brother and the heir to the family fortune - she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try.
But living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected. Because Hope’s murderer is nearby as well....
“Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern Gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play.... This is romantic drama at its best.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Highly recommended.
Despite the other negative reviews regarding the narrator, I really enjoyed listening to Dean Robertson. She did not try to do both male and female voices. It was as though she was just reading me the book and allowing my imagination to see the characters as I felt they should be. I have previously read all of Nora Roberts books and enjoy them all. I now enjoy listening to them as well. Some of them are difficult to listen to when the narrator does weird voices, accents, baby talk, etc. Carolina Moon is one of my favorites. I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who might enjoy simply having a good book read to them. I quite enjoyed Dean Robertson. She has a lovely voice and a lovely accent.

Narrator did not delivered
I read/listen at least one of Nora Roberts books per week. Sometimes, even more. This one is taking me weeks, and I’m still insisting because I never leave a story behind. The narrator does not make distinction among to the characters and it gets confusing more often than not. Sadly, I did not get the pleasure of flowing into the book this time.

Worst narrator I've ever heard! I have listened to all Nora Robert's books under her JD Robb & almost all of her Nora Robert's. I love her writing and the narrators were great. this narrator spoke in a monotone, no intonation, run on manner. while I enjoyed the story, it was hard to listen to as narrator almost ruined the book.

Grating Narrator
I really enjoyed the story and am a long-time Roberts fan, but the narration of this book just grated on me. Being a southerner myself, I appreciate the appropriate accent, but the voice quality and dramatic effect were just awful. I am so sorry about it. Wish I could hear the book with another voice.

Good and Bad
This is a good book, I like the plot of the story and was not surprise who the killer was. The bad part is the narrator. The narrator read with NO emotion. She is reading the story as if she is bored. If you can get pass the narrator, please listen to the book.

Ignore narrator, listen to the story.
What did you love best about Carolina Moon?
I enjoyed the interaction between all the characters. The story line is very interesting and kept me listening.
What other book might you compare Carolina Moon to and why?
I think Nora Roberts Sanctuary. It has similar suspense and character dynamics that keep it interesting.
Would you be willing to try another one of Dean Robertson’s performances?
I would prefer not. There just wasn't any emotion. I couldn't tell the difference in many of the characters and there were many times that a sentence blended with the next one so it was hard to make sense of what was being said.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It may have been with someone else reading.
Any additional comments?
I have many Nora Roberts (as well as many other authors) and even if you have a strong story, if the narrator doesn't do a good job, it detracts considerably from the book.

Narration elevates the experience
Okay, Okay....so a lot of people really disliked Dean Robertson's narration of Carolina Moon. I absolutely loved it. Robertson is an old-fashioned reader, a storyteller. She doesn't act parts, doesn't change her voice and doesn't tell you what to think. She gets out of the way of the story and lets it flow in her honey-southern voice.
It's not a great story. It's early Nora Roberts- you can see everything-even the red herrings- coming a mile away. But it's Nora Roberts, a master of sustaining both the story and your interest. It's a great pairing- like pizza and a really good Cote du Rhone, Robertson's reading style made this listen a memorable experience.

good book, poorly read
I almost didn't get past the first chapter or two of this audiobook, as the reading really annoyed me. It is fast and sentences are strung together. The reader doesn't have the best voice to listen to either. However, I continued because I didn't want to waste my money. I began to get past the voice and hear the book. The book itself is good. Nora describes things in a way that you can picture the scene. The characters are well-developed. If you can get past the voice, you will like this book.
