Her family's cottage on the New Jersey shore was a place of freedom and innocence for Julie Bauer - until her 17-year-old sister, Isabel, was murdered. It's been more than 40 years since that August night, but Julie's memories of her sister's death still shape her world. Now someone from her past is raising questions about what really happened that night. About Julie's own complicity. About a devastating secret her mother kept from them all. About the person who went to prison for Izzy's murder - and the person who didn't. Faced with questions and armed with few answers, Julie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the complex emotions that led to one unspeakable act of violence on the bay at midnight.

Great story, kept me listening and interested. One of the narrators has too much vocal fray, but it is only mildly annoying.

Intriguing drama

i found the story hard to get into though the last quarter of the story was hard to put down. i enjoyed the murder mystery who done it part of the story and the outcome wasn't predictable but not her best book but still worth listening

a bit slow to begin with

The "he said, she said" of Julie's narrator would have been better left unsaid, very distracting! Once I stopped wincing, the book was enjoyable and the story intriguing.

Story was interesting, however writers style of he said she said I said became annoying and dragged the story.

The narrator that did Julie drove me nuts but holding on to the last word in a sentence especially the word said

Good story but....

I agree with another listener, they should have left out all of the “he said” and “she said”

Good story

I'm not sure who read the part of Julie, but the way " he said" "I said" "she said" was recited in such a way that I wanted to PUNCH MYSELF IN MY FACE.
I'm not sure if I should blame the author or the reader, but it became so distracting that it affected my overall impression.

I enjoyed the story, the narrator and the somewhat surprising ending! I would love to listen to more of this authors books!

I enjoyed the story but found the narrator's pronunciation of the word "said" as "saaaad" so distracting!

So saaaad

Too many he said, she said, I said, he asked, she asked, I asked... unnecessary and distracting.

He said, She said, I said ...
