About this listen

Althea Bell is still heartbroken by her mother’s tragic, premature death - and tormented by the last, frantic words she whispered into young Althea’s ear: Wait for her. For the honeysuckle girl. She’ll find you, I think, but if she doesn’t, you find her.

Adrift ever since, Althea is now fresh out of rehab and returning to her family home in Mobile, Alabama, determined to reconnect with her estranged, ailing father. While Althea doesn’t expect him, or her politically ambitious brother, to welcome her with open arms, she’s not prepared for the chilling revelation of a grim, long-buried family secret. Fragile and desperate, Althea escapes with an old flame to uncover the truth about her lineage. Drawn deeper into her ancestors’ lives, Althea begins to unearth their disturbing history...and the part she’s meant to play in it.

Gripping and visceral, this unforgettable debut delves straight into the heart of dark family secrets and into one woman’s emotional journey to save herself from a sinister inheritance.

“Narrator Kate Orsini navigates the transitions between a Southern mountain accent of the 1930s and a modern Southern accent with style and grace... [Burying the Honeysuckle Girls] is for listeners who enjoy thrillers and multigenerational family fiction.” - Library Journal

Very well written. Loved the narrator in this book! As a southerner I get so disappointed with a lot of the narrators "southern accent" when reading a book but this woman was spot on. Would recommend and is definitely worth a credit.

this was just beautiful to listen to. the narrator did am amazing job that I will likely listen to ANY other book she is reading. the story was very very good. . there are some sub plots that I wish were either developed a little more or left out (like the red raven, why exactly was colli in the black ward. .. ) the ending was fitting but a little bit deux ex machina. overall a great book with fantastic, amazing narration

I stopped listening to this book with 6 hrs and 10 minutes left. I absolutely hate stopping a book midway thru I feel like If I quit the book will pick up and I’ll miss out, but man oh man I just could not waste another minute of my life trying to figure out what was going on. To me this book was really slow to get into, just not a book for me maybe someone else will love it!!

Very hard to listen too!!!
