About this listen
New York Times best-selling romance author Jude Deveraux makes her debut in the world of mystery with a story of old secrets, deadly grudges, and an improbable group of friends who are determined to uncover the truth regardless of the consequences.
Sara Medlar is a household name in romance, with millions of books sold. But lately, retirement has been boring her, and she's found herself back in her hometown of Lachlan, Florida, remodeling the grand, old mansion she'd admired as a child. It's much too big for her alone, but she'd die before letting anyone in town know that.
Then Sara's niece Kate is offered a job in Lachlan - a start in what could be a very successful career in real estate. She accepts immediately, but with so little saved up, she'll have to approach her estranged yet incredibly famous aunt for a place to stay while she gets herself settled.
But when she arrives at Sara's home, she finds she's not the only long-term houseguest. Jackson Wyatt already has his own room, and though it's impossible to deny his good looks and charm - he's clearly got her aunt wrapped around his finger - she's also never met anyone who irritates her quite like Jack does.
However, when two skeletons are accidentally uncovered in the quiet town, this unlikely trio is suddenly thrust together by a common goal: to solve a mystery everyone else seems eager to keep under wraps.
United by a sense of justice and the desire to right old wrongs, Sara, Kate, and Jack will have to dig into Lachlan's murky past to unravel the small town's dark secrets and work to bring the awful truth to light.

Desperate to secure a roof over her head, Etta crosses paths with Henry Logan, a lonely older man in need of a caretaker.

Classic Writer Moves Forward
Great $3.95 daily deal to introduce this wonderful writer to a new mystery fan base. I have been a fan of Ms Deveraux since the 80’s with her historical romances. All time best A Knight in Shining Armor, the closing paragraph will stay with you for years to come! Not to be missed the Velvet Montgomery Annuals which also shows off Ms Deveraux great writing skills.
The Publishers summery is spot on so no need to add to it.
This is a series so if you do not like cliff hangers, then beware. Author leads you to the next book which may leave certain explanations to your imagination. The characters are wonderful as author knows how to develop personality as the tale evolves.
Since Ms Deveraux had at one time, and may still live in an English castle, her eye for detail and furnishings is great if you are a fan of that type of narrative.
I do use the 1.25x speed for all mysteries to match an authors intentions. See Marcia Clark mystery series, both Rachel Knight and Samantha Brinkman if you enjoyed this mystery.

"Willing" by whom?
(As posted in Goodreads)
I didn't care much for the title; it somehow made the reader think that someone was happy with the whole situation. I suppose that the killer may have been, but even that was questionable. The ending was only MOSTLY satisfactory, but there were still some unanswered questions. For the most part, I truly enjoyed it.

This audiobook was great and very hard to put down. When I had to stop listening it was really hard to stop playing. Susan Bennett’s reading brought the characters to life. Jude Deveraux’s story was great.

I've been reading Jude's books for 30ish years. My first was Knight in Shining Armor. I love her ability to make every story different than the last.
