A broken promise reveals a terrifying legacy in this electrifying novel from the New York Times bestselling author of When All the Girls Have Gone. Seattle gallery owner Virginia Troy has spent years battling the demons that stem from her childhood time in a cult and the night a fire burned through the compound killing her mother. And now one of her artists has taken her own life, but not before sending Virginia a last picture.a painting that makes Virginia doubt everything about the so-called suicide-and her own past. Like Virginia, PI Cabot Sutter was one of the children in the cult who survived that fire-and only he can help her now. As they struggle to unravel the clues in the picture, it becomes clear that someone thinks Virginia knows more than she does and that she must be stopped. Thrown into an inferno of desire and deception, Virginia and Cabot draw ever closer to the mystery of their shared memories-and the shocking fate of the one man who still wields the power to destroy everything they hold dear.

      A plethora of subplots unnecessarily complicates a convincing romance in this standalone contemporary romantic thriller from bestseller Krentz (When All the Girls Have Gone). After the mysterious death of eccentric artist and cult survivor Hannah Brewster, art gallery owner Virginia Troy—a fellow survivor who believes Hannah was trying to warn and protect her—tracks down private investigator Cabot Sutter. As children, Virginia and Cabot survived a fire set by evil cult leader Quinton Zane that killed their mothers. Fearing Zane may still be alive and hunting Virginia, and suspecting she unwittingly holds the key to hidden funds their mothers stole from the cult, Cabot stays close to her, allowing intimacy to build. The feisty protagonists share compassion, respect, and empathy as well as PTSD and insomnia. Their connection develops into a convincing and enjoyable romance, and a subplot involving Cabot’s runaway teenage nephew adds welcome dimension. However, despite numerous surprises, the story’s suspense falters with the addition of multiple villains connected either to Zane or to a technology firm, Nightwatch, whose owner combats an in-house embezzlement scheme. Despite these stumbles, readers may find the romance satisfying enough to carry the day. Agent: Steve Axelrod, Axelrod Agency.

      Narrator Susan Bennett has the perfect hushed voice for a romantic suspense that succeeds in dropping just the right number of breadcrumbs to keep the listener guessing. Suffering from sleep-stealing anxiety as a result of childhood memories of living in a cult, gallery owner Virginia Troy tracks down fellow survivor, now private investigator Cabot Sutter when she suspects a local artist's suicide is more than what it seems. Chasing the ghosts of their past, they discover that they can share a future as well--but only if they survive a villain who will kill to keep secrets buried. Bennett artfully juggles a varied cast with subtly different tones and inflections. Her soft-spoken delivery is infused with tension that dials the mystery to a 10.
