1995, London. When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of 95 he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family but also a secret so shocking, so devastating that it could rock the English establishment to its core. Joanna Haslam is an ambitious young journalist assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral. The great and the good of the celebrity world are there. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind, the contents of which others have been desperate to conceal for over 70 years.

Long to get action but worth the patience.
The story is all about non told stories, so at first it was a bit boring, but it get better and better till the end. I've got taken by the emotions and characters. Very good listening in the end.

Very impressive!
I don’t normally lean towards this genre but did so for a change. I was absolutely thrilled by the story and all of the characters who started to become very real to me in a short bit of time.
The narration was beyond wonderful. A warm, deep, soothing yet also chipper voice was a joy to listen to. If asked, I am not sure if I would be able to choose my favorite. The book or the narration.
I highly recommend this book.

Captivating
The story starts rather slowly then accelerates to be my favorite Lucinda Riley book. The family dynamics, great sadness, and a happy ending rounds out to be a wonderful 17 hours of great listening.

Great book
Really enjoyed this book. The narrator took a bit getting used to at the beginning, as the voice didn’t strike me as one of a small child, however, once you realize you were listening to memories, it all seems OK. As you move through the book, the narrator really grows on you, the story is complex and has great twists and turns.

I Enjoyed The Book But!
My first Lucinda Riley book and it was a good listen. Hard to put down because the author has an awesome way of weaving so much into a story. I felt there were too many "darlings" in the story and I found it irritating that every character in the book used the term. But overall I did enjoy the book as most people did. I am going to start the Seven Sister Series.
Nicolette McKenzie was good with the delivery of the story.

Blasphemy
This was an excellent story and very well performed. Unfortunately t contains a LOT of blasphemy which to me is unacceptable. There are so many swear words to choose from, why take the name of someone's God in vain?

“He rapes and abuses me, but I must stand by my man”
I tried, I really did. Got half way through this audiobook but the predictability of the plot, the heavy smoker’s voice of the reader, but finally, the truly antiquated depiction of relationships between men and women just got too irksome. Can’t finish. Don’t care what happens to these benighted characters.

This book is 17 hours long and you will never be bored. I found myself almost obsessing over trying to figure out the mystery. I loved the thorough character development of every character in this book. . Now, I will have to read another book by Lucinda Riley.

I have loved many of her other books. This one didn’t get interesting until 14 hours in. And the narrator voice isn’t what I would have picked for this book.

Des personnages attachants,
Les personnages de ce romans sont comme des amis, on croit les connaître déjà, un peu des stéréotypes, mais c’est tellement bien ficelié et cela se déroule comme une mécanique bien huilée, et en fin de compte on finit par être surpris par le dénouement... bravo l’artiste, toutes les ficelles narratives sont maîtrisées pour le plus grand plaisir du lecteur!
