Brilliant Story and Performances

I loved everything about this audiobook: both the shocking story and the incredible narration. I’ve never read a Lucinda Berry novel before this, but I’ve already bought several other Lucinda Berry books based on how incredible this book was. I’ve long adored Kate Rudd’s performances (she’s one of my favorite narrators, and I’ve bought many audiobooks based solely on the fact that she’s the narrator), and she did a stunning job narrating Krystal in this book. I’ve never heard Lauren Ezzo’s narration before, but her performance as the overwrought Nichole in this book means she’s also earned a top spot in my list of favorite narrators. I often wondered how her throat withstood the anguish she infused into her performance. I’d have given this book and its performances 10 stars if that were an option. I read and/or listen to about 100 books a year, and I can already tell that The Secrets of Us will be one of my favorite audiobooks of 2024, and it’s only January. Bravo Lucinda, Kate, and Lauren!!!

Brilliant characterization, top-notch writing, and perfect narration (Kate Rudd is one of my favorite narrators, which is why I bought this book in the first place). I read more than 100 books a year, forgetting books quickly because I read so much. But this book has earned a top spot on my list for 2017! Going now to get the other three books in this series!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I already have. This is a truly haunting, melancholy story that is terrifying (yet not a horror) and yet, beautiful, in a way. The narrator, Joy Osmonski, is incredibly talented, and does a great job differentiating the characters' voices. Days after I've finished it, it remains with me in the pit of my stomach and swirling around in my head.
