About this listen

When family secrets are unearthed, a woman's past can become a dangerous place to hide....

After the death of her adoptive mother, Ava Saunders comes upon a peculiar photograph, sealed and hidden away in a crawl space. The photo shows a shuttered, ramshackle house on top of a steep hill. On the back, a puzzling inscription: Destiny calls us.

Ava is certain that it's a clue to her elusive past. Twenty-three years ago, she'd been found wrapped in a yellow blanket in the narthex of the Holy Saviour Catholic Church - and rescued - or so she'd been told. Her mother claimed there was no more to the story, so the questions of her abandonment were left unanswered. For Ava, now is the time to find the roots of her mother's lies. It begins with the house itself - once the scene of a brutal double murder.

When Ava enlists the help of the two people closest to her, a police detective and her best friend, she fears that investigating her past could be a fatal mistake. Someone is following them there. And what's been buried in Ava's nightmares isn't just a crime. It's a holy conspiracy.

Creepy and suspenseful.

I loved this book. The obvious mental difficulties and foolish decisions some people made (or perhaps so it seemed they made) that thread its way through the plot makes you feel uncomfortable. The French accents were excellent and even made you know which person was speaking. Definitely gave me the creeps.

Twist of faith? Well, maybe

There were so many twists in this book I couldn’t keep up. You would believe one thing only to discover that wasn’t true, which led to another twist and on and on. It was a well thought out plot; I just couldn’t grasp who was who and who was true and who did what to who, all while looking for the answer to one simple question!
Did I like how it ended? I don’t know how it ended, it just ended pretty much how you wanted to believe it ended..
The performance was fantastic!

An intricate, compelling mystery

Ava Hope Saunders, six months after the death of her adopted mother Claire, is still searching for the identity of her birth mother. The story she's been told, of being found wrapped in a blanket in a Philadelphia church when she was less than two months old, doesn't match memories of some very frightening events, when she was a toddler, or of a mother who wasn't Claire.

She takes a picture she's found in her mother's things, of a house, and visits it. It's unoccupied at present, but a neighbor tells her there was a terrible murder there five years ago, of the couple who lived there, by an apparent intruder. The murder was never solved.

Do the dead couple have some connection to her? She recruits her best friend, Joanne, a paralegal at the courthouse where she works as a translator, and Russ, a Camden police officer assigned to the prosecutor's office at the courthouse, to help her investigate.

The investigation quickly gets complicated, confusing, and frightening.

The husband of the murdered couple was a childhood friend of Claire's father, Ross Saunders. Ross's own death, though originally ruled an accident--an apparent fall getting out of the tub--has some odd, not to say suspicious, aspects. Another of the friends, Fr. Bill Connolly, also died suddenly and oddly, from an allergic reaction to an allergen he wouldn't likely have had in the house, with his Epipen found not far away, underneath the bed.

When another death happens, and Ava disappears, Joanne and Russ are very, very worried, and they don't know the half of what they should be worried about.

This is an intricate story, with characters who aren't what they seem at first, both good and bad. It's a little grimmer than I expected, but I couldn't stop listening.

Recommended.

Very well written

Gripping to the very end! Not predictive, suspenseful and intriguingly logical yet emotionally riveting. Bravo!
