À propos de cet audio

An ancient castle, a tragic love, and a web of secrets begins to unravel....

Emily Braden has stopped believing in fairy tales and happy endings. When her fascinating but unreliable cousin Harry invites her on a holiday to explore the legendary town of Chinon, and promptly disappears - well, that's Harry for you.

As Emily makes the acquaintance of Chinon and its people, she begins to uncover dark secrets beneath the charm. Legend has it that during a 13th-century siege of the castle that looms over the city, Queen Isabelle, child bride of King John, hid a "treasure of great price". And in the last days of the German occupation during World War II, there was another Isabelle living in Chinon, a girl whose love for an enemy soldier went tragically awry.

As the dangers of the past become disastrously real, Emily is drawn ever more deeply into a labyrinth of mystery as twisted as the streets and tunnels of the ancient town itself.

I've loved every other book of hers that I've read. I hope this is not your first introduction to her writing. This one never takes off. The pace is plodding. The story line is half hearted. Highly recommend you start with any of her other novels. Her gift is tying together a historical story and a modern story and how the historical drives the modern adventure. There is some of that but only a small nugget.

Suzanna Kearsley is an excellent author

This is a great story, but the performance was too melodramatic for my tastes. The narrator did a great job with the male characters' voices, but the way she voiced the female narrator drove me a little crazy. It's still a Susanna Kearsley, so I will probably listen again.

Narrator was not for me

I love Susanna's stories about the past and intertwined lives but this was just as fun! A couldn't stop listening! Great characters and lovely background for the story.

Fun and full of intrigue.

I love SK novels and I think I would have loved this one, but I was unable to finish it... The Narrator was not for me, she sounded like an old smoker, making it hard to listen to her voicing a young female. Her male voices were better.

Well I did not like this book at all..the story was tedious and the actor reading kept pausing so much as she read that I never knew if there would be a new chapter or if she was continuing to read! It took forever to go through this book! Ugh!
