About this listen

Hidden secrets lead to deadly lies...

Following the incident that brought justice to her parents’ killers but ended her career, former FBI Special Agent Rebecca West needs a fresh start. Hoping to find peace, she decides to spend a few months in the sleepy beach town of Shadow Island, where she spent idyllic summers as a kid.

However, her vacation is cut short when a seventeen-year-old goes missing with no leads or clues. When the girl’s body is found in a nearby marsh with strangulation marks around her neck, Rebecca can’t say no when the overworked sheriff asks her to help investigate.

Rebecca’s gut tells her that on the small island, the murder hadn’t been a chance encounter. But who would want the likable teen in a seemingly sweet and innocent relationship with her boyfriend dead? And why?Rebecca soon discovers something bigger is going on around Shadow Island, something involving an enigmatic Yacht Club that no one will talk about...but that just might hold the keys to solving the girl’s murder. But who are they willing to kill to keep their secrets buried?

From its enigmatic beginning to the twisted ending you won’t see coming, Shadow’s Secret—the first book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a stark reminder that two people can keep a secret...if one of them dies.

I'm on book 18 of the Winter Black series, and it's grown a bit stale. Took a chance on this because the book reviews on Amazon are great. I don't understand why the audiobook is rated so low. I love the narrator. The plot was pretty simple, but it was refreshing to read a book where the protagonist didn't have a serial killer or prostitute sibling that creates endless mental gymnastics, like in the other series. This book cut a large portion of the endless repetitive thoughts the other series has, and which bored me. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this story and it kept me on my toes all the was through.!
The narrator did a great job. I wish she would have used a lower voice for Rebecca, though. The voice used made her seem little girlish, in my opinion.
The ending was abrupt and that's why the 4 star review. It's obvious that the purpose was to get the reader to purchase another book. Still, a couple more sentences regarding Rebecca's future would have helped so much.

Excellent!

The overall story was pretty good, but the ending was terrible. Yes, I understand that it was a cliffhanger, but it made me so mad at the way it ended, It just seems to be lazy writing. I buy a lot of mystery series, but I’ve never had one in almost in the middle of a sentence. I probably won’t buy the rest of the series.

Abruptly ends

The back ground story presented in the beginning of the book was thriller all the way however as I continued to listen I expected much more intensity and climactic situations. However, if you appreciate a good love story, with strength, hope and dedication, you'll enjoy this story. The performance was great and the way God brought the two characters together was definitely a testimony of God's divine intervention.

Great love story

Never saw it coming …

Took a little while to get into the story; having two narrators would make a big difference. Plot twist towards the end.

Could use a male and female narrator

Characters were real! Storyline was believable and moved along nicely! Will probably have to purchase the rest of the series or else you feel like you lost touch with a real friend!!

Great character development!
