Don't Say a Word

By: Barbara Freethy

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne

Everything she’s been told about her past life is a lie...

Julia DeMarco is planning a perfect San Francisco wedding when she comes face-to-face with a famous photograph, the startling image of a little girl behind the iron gate of a foreign orphanage–a girl who looks exactly like her. But Julia isn’t an orphan. She wasn’t adopted. And she’s never been out of the country. She knows who she is–or does she?

Haunted by uncertainty, Julia sets off on a dangerous search for her true identity–her only clues a swan necklace and an old Russian doll, her only ally daring, sexy photographer Alex Manning. Suddenly, nothing is as it seems. The people Julia loved and trusted become suspicious strangers. The relationships she believed in–with her mother, her sister, and her fiancé–are shaken by new revelations. The only person she can trust is Alex, but he has secrets of his own. Each step brings her closer to a mysterious past that began a world away–a past that still has the power to threaten her life...and change her future forever.©2005 Barbara Freethy; (P)2005 Books on Tape

Fine Story

The storyline was good, and it was entertaining. Personally, I have grown quite tired of Freethy's must-marry-before-I'm-30 heroines. This is the fourth book, and the formula is unchanged.

I think I will give her books a rest. Overall, it is an okay tale.

Barbara Freethy!!!!

One of the best there is!! Great book!! Great story line and characters!! Love ALL of her books!!

a great easy listen

I was pleasantly surprised. the plot was complex and held my interest to the end - there was a very good mystery component that was not compromised by the romantic element.

Didn’t care for the narration

The narrators’ voices were so bad and really ruined the story for me. It didn’t come across as current at all, more cringy. I felt like the story seemed from the ‘70s just because of the voices.

Page turner for sure

I love this book. I was hooked from the very first chapter! I also really enjoyed the narrator. I prefer a male narrator but was pleasantly surprised. She did a great Job!
