What Lies We Keep

By: Janet Roberts

Narrated by: Jesse Weimer

Cybersecurity expert Ted McCord has been fired. He risked everything in a game far beyond his control. It's the last straw for Charlotte McCord, who's never understood her husband's addiction to the trappings of corporate life-the titles, the money, and the promise of visible success that he prefers over his family's ranch. Six months earlier, Ted did something unthinkable to gain a promotion and hid his actions from his wife. Now the guilty coconspirators have turned the tables on him. Ted claims he's innocent, but Charlotte leaves, taking their daughter. As Ted works to clear his name, Charlotte leans on her friends. But one friend has a secret that shocks Charlotte, upending everything she believes about Ted. Unsure who to trust, she jettisons from hurt and anger to the tempting promise of solace in the arms of a handsome River Rescue officer.

Stretching from Pittsburgh's urban skyline to the beautiful ranch country of Montana, What Lies We Keep is a moving story of corporate ambition that shakes the very foundations of a marriage and asks: What happens when we embrace the life we think we should have, rather than the life we have?

Narration

The story was Interesting and well written. the narrator did a great job. great job.

Engaging!

I found the story intriguing and engaging. It drew me in right away and I wanted to know what happened. I often struggle with audio books (I prefer to read) and generally only use them when I’m in a crunch for my book club. But this one, I found I wanted to keep listening and my mind didn’t wander despite finding auditory learning /maintaining my attention challenging. I see that as a credit to both the author and the reader. Plus, as a Pittsburgh native, I loved all of the local references. Overall great book!
