Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a seductive and suspenseful novel of dangerous liaisons and family betrayals....

Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaney - who was on the island the summer her mother disappeared - Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all.

Soooo well written

A really good book - all along you think you know who it might be, then you are almost convinced but can't believe it to be true, then it twists!

Really great and again a TRUE Nora Roberts book - 3 lives, 3 twists - lovely

Thank you

Nora Roberts at her best

I loved this book. I was never exactly sure how it was going to turn out and it continued to keep me wanting for more. I am sad that it is done. I need to find another Nora Roberts soon...

Sanctuary

Good mystery, but too much sex for me in a mystery. Mysteries don't have to be sexless, but this was over the top IMHO. It is an old Nora Robert's book, before cellphones and lots of smoking 🚬 by the main character.
A runaway mother; 3 young children and a husband all devastated by her disappearance. An 🏝 island off the coast of Georgia called Desire that is owned by the family with a hotel run by the family.

Raging hormones. Major sex story, minor mystery

Every chapter has someone groping and sexing. The murder mystery was a minor side story to all the breast clutching.

Great on all levals

If you could sum up Sanctuary in three words, what would they be?

Suspense, Humor, Romance

What other book might you compare Sanctuary to and why?

I like when Nora Roberts add Murder Mystery along with humor and romance well rounded book that keeps you listening.

Have you listened to any of Sandra Burr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I Love Sandra and have purchased a few of her audio's just because she was the narrator

Enjoyed the story but got tired of the narrator

This was a suspenseful, didn't figure out the "nut" until very close to the end, which I think makes it a good story. But, as I noted in the headline, I got so tired of the narrator that I was ready for it to end. I generally pick a number of the books that I listen to based on the narrator--I thought I like Sandra Burr better (I will still listen her, I think). One other thing on the story, I will say NR could have done a better in her Epilogue.
