Whispers of the Bayou

By: Mindy Starns Clark

Narrated by: Jill Smith

Swept away from Louisiana bayou country as a child, Miranda Miller is a woman without a past. She has a husband and child of her own and a fulfilling job in a Manhattan museum, but she also has questions - about the tragedy that cut her off from family and caused her to be sent away and about those first five years of her life, which were erased from her memory entirely.

Summoned to the bedside of Willy Pedreaux, the old caretaker of her grandparents' antebellum estate, Miranda goes back to Louisiana at last, hoping to learn the truths of her past and receive her rightful inheritance. But Willy's premature death plunges Miranda into a nightmare of buried secrets, priceless treasure, and unknown enemies.

Follow one woman's search through the hidden rooms of a bayou mansion, the enigmatic snares of an ancient myth, and the all-consuming quest for a heart open enough for love - and for God.

"Intricately plotted and exquisitely detailed, Clark's latest novel is fantastic. There's a gothic feel throughout, and the outcome of the mystery is fascinating.... Mystery lovers should move this to the top of their purchase lists." (RT Book Reviews)

AWESOME! This had me at every turn.

I enjoy this book very much! I found myself wondering what was going to happen next! Great book!

Just when you think you have the plot....

Struggled at first, I think because I had just finished a book with a man narrator. I just couldn't get into for some reason but then I took a 9 hr drive with 6 hours left and I am so glad I finished this. Twist and turns I didn't even consider. A good listen!

Good story- Christian based

All in all, this is a good story. What had me on easy, though very spiritual myself, was the insertion of strong Christianity in the last chapter of this book. It was not necessary. In fact, it actually ruined the book for me. I respect all beliefs, keep them out of my literature.

What a fantastic story!

What a wonderfully twisting tale, full of intriguing detail, history and written in beautifully illustrative language. Loved it! I listened throughout a Saturday and until late at night. It’s that good.

Jill Smith’s narration was exceedingly well done. Props!

And to Mindy Starns Clark, what a joy to read/listen to such a fantastic story - all written in decent language without needless swearing and so on.

Absolutely Amazing

This book kept me entranced! I loved it and didn’t want it to end.
There are a few phrases the author repeats that can be kinda irritating at first, but you look past it very quickly. It’s worth the time! It’s worth it!!

Great book

I loved this book and it’s characters. The narrator was good too. I predicted some of the story but I still thought it was really good. Definitely still some plot twists!

Great Story Line!

Excellent story, was intriguing, easy to follow. Clean Language! I will be looking for more from this author!

Delicious Mystery on the Bayou

Good story. Good performance; intrigue a-plenty! Can you solve it who-dunnit! Good fast-paced listen.

loved it!!

It was a great story, kept you on the edge of your seat! The narrator really drew you into the story.

Excellent Read

This is a fantastic book. The story line is intriguing and the feeling of the overall book keeps things moving at a nice pace. The bits of history and the details about Louisiana and the culture of the people were well represented. The twist at the end caught me completely by surprise. I highly recommend the book.
