4.5
War is a heavy and complicated subject, and this audiobook resonated deeply with me, especially because war has taken so much from my own family. From the very beginning, the story pulled me in—not just because of its powerful themes, but because of the way the author masterfully weaves history and mystery together. I had no idea it was a historical mystery when I started listening, and discovering that layer added an entirely new level of intrigue and suspense.
The writing itself is beautifully crafted, with vivid descriptions and a tone that perfectly balances the sorrow and resilience that comes with such difficult times. It’s not an easy story to follow emotionally, but the depth and honesty in the narrative made it impossible to put down—or in my case, stop listening to. Every chapter revealed more pieces of the puzzle, keeping me engaged and eager to learn what would happen next.
What truly elevated the experience was the audiobook narration. The narrator brought every character to life with remarkable skill, capturing their unique voices and emotions in a way that felt authentic and deeply moving. From the quiet moments of reflection to the intense scenes of conflict, the performance added layers of meaning and made the story feel incredibly real.
This audiobook wasn’t just entertainment; it was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and losses endured during war, and how those stories continue to shape families and histories. I’m profoundly grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates storytelling that combines emotional depth, historical insight, and gripping mystery.

I liked the first main character that was introduced, but the second character did not seem believable.  It reminded me of Grease - guy who had seen too much; impossibly too good girl.  I normally like Baldacci but I generally don't stick with books too long when there are too many books I want to read.
