Promise Not to Tell

De: Jayne Ann Krentz

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

A broken promise reveals a terrifying legacy in this electrifying novel from the New York Times best-selling 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.

Pretty Good 👍

I have listened to the book twice. I enjoyed it both times. I failed to understand why there were 75 chapters. They were distracting in the continuity of the plot's progress. Bennett was equal to the task of narrator. I am truly a Krentz fan, just don't know if I can adjust to the quirky format in this book.

Excellent story mediocre narrator

Great story but the narrator was only fair. I had no trouble finishing it, but a better narrator would have made this a 5 star review

Promise Not to Tell

Wonderful book. Engaging drone the first line. Lots of twists and turns with plenty of romance thrown in. Loved the characters.

Good

The book had a strange beginning until you started getting into the book. Very interesting book.

sprinkled with suspense, insight & mystery

Seattle is the scene of densely woven tapestry of clues memories and murder. Pain and fear from the past flare from hidden embers of a terrible night two decades ago. The young survivors chase down clues left by their mothers' last ditch efforts to protect them.

Can't put it down!

I love Jayne Ann Krentz.Listening is so much better than reading these days. Bad eyes.

Another fine story

This book is fast paced, intriguing, and definitely worth my money. I have been a fan of Krentz for a long time, in all her genres. This book does not disappoint. Cabot and Victoria were both rescued from a cult when they were children when the cult leader set a fire that killed their mothers and others. Now as adults, they meet to investigate whether one of the last old survivors of the erstwhile cult was murdered or committed suicide. I definitely didn’t see some of the twists coming. This is the second of a series of connected books, and the last chapter sets up the next one, but not in an annoying way. I am looking forward to the next book, and I know I will reread the whole series again in the future.

Great story and LOVE this narrator!

Krentz's books are comfort reads (listens) for me. I always enjoy them. This book was one of her best lately. And I really love this narrator. She did both male and female voices well, and had distinct voices for each character. This isn't always true for this author's books. I'll be looking for other books by this narrator.

loved it,

Could not stop listening l listen aldayl outside inside, great reader also very good. I

Liked the story but the narrative was poor

Would you listen to Promise Not to Tell again? Why?

The story line was good but the narrative was very poor. The narrator was monotone with not inflection in her tone. Hard to distinguish between male and female characters.
