About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts provides a potent mix of small-town secrets, scandalous romance, and down-home Southern atmosphere as a young woman searching for some bayou R&R finds herself entangled in a serial killer’s wicked web.
 
Burned out and still reeling from a love affair gone bad, world-class violinist Caroline Waverly goes to her grandparents’ home in Innocence, Mississippi, for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Instead she finds herself overwhelmed all over again—first by Tucker Longstreet, a charming local with a sideline in no-strings-attached relationships, and then by a deadlier, more disturbing development. 

For Innocence is being stalked by its very own serial killer, whose brutal knife blows have pierced the veil of tranquillity in this sleepy Southern town and left a trail of mutilated female corpses in their wake. When a federal agent arrives to investigate, the town’s deepest secrets bubble to the surface and suspicion turns on Tucker as the most likely suspect. After Caroline finds the latest murder victim floating in the murky waters behind her house, she too is inexorably drawn into the path of a crazed killer who may be closer than she could have ever imagined.

Ratings and reviews

wow!!!!!! please educate yourself on guns, Ms. Roberts, so you can stop authoring inaccuracies. First of all a 30-30 IS NOT a shotgun. Second a Colt .45 IS NOT a revolver!! No matter how any reader or author feels about guns and gun rights, putting inaccuracies in a story shows your incompetence in educating yourself on a subject.

It had such a twist. Didn't see it coming. Thought I had it all figured out. The hero and heroine were very special. All characters were interesting in their own way. Thoroughly enjoyed the story at times got lost in the love and mystery. Great read. Thank you.

This is not an erotica book, and the story..was a little underwhelming. To many characters, to much back story, just blah.
