PROMISE NOT TO TELL

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.
