#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of redemption and suspense, as a woman haunted by the unsolved murder of her childhood friend returns to her small South Carolina hometown...

Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt—and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, whose friendship allowed Tory to be the child she wasn't allowed to be at home. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle—Hope’s older brother and the heir to the family fortune—she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try.

But living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected. Because Hope’s murderer is nearby as well...

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play...This is romantic drama at its best.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Roberts weaves a story like no one else, and if possible, she just gets better. Carolina Moon is exceptional—a must-read.”—Rocky Mountain News

“Carolina Moon builds a commendably brisk narrative energy and pace.”—Time

“The marshlands of South Carolina make the perfect stage for Gothic drama. The monotonous drone of insects, the live oaks weeping with moss, the dark and mysterious marshes themselves, lend a romantic, menacing atmosphere to Nora Roberts’ story...Nobody does mystery-romance better.”—The Atlanta Journal and Constitution

For many chapters I tried to figure out who killed Hope and just as I thought I had the answer there was another plot twist. It wasn’t until the very end when it was revealed did I find myself disappointed because I never guessed making this a very good book.

Victoria “Tory” Bodeen has had what her grandmother called the Sight since she was very little. She tried to keep things to herself because her father, Hannibal, would beat her near to death, all the while quoting the bible. Of course, he never really needed a reason to beat her. Tory had been around the age of eight when her only friend, Hope, died. Tory was supposed to sneak out and meet up with her friend, but her father had beaten her that night. When people went searching for Hope, Tory told exactly where Hope’s body was. Hannibal eventually moved his family away from Progress.

Of course, Tory fled home as soon as she could. Now an adult, Tory is moving back to Progress. She even rented the house where she had grown up. Tory would open a stylish home-design shop called Southern Comfort. She would finally face her past and, hopefully, find closure by figuring out who raped and murdered Hope eighteen years ago. Kincade “Cade” Lavelle, Hope’s brother, is still around and he is determined to make Tory see him as lover potential. Faith, Hope’s twin sister, is still there too. Faith and Hope have always been opposites in all but looks. Several others still remain as well – including Hope’s killer.

**** FOUR STARS! This story is so well written that I found myself a bit unsettled at times. Nora Roberts manages to show readers that down home Southern charm, as well as the not so charming parts. A gripping story that may keep you up reading too long into the night. ****

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Nora Roberts thriller
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014

I love romance and suspense mixed together. You enjoy the romance while the hero's and heroines figure out the mystery. I have learned that this author never goes for the obvious with her mystery. I will admit that had I not read other novels by the author I would have been upset with the "unsolved mystery". At least I would have been at first because it almost seemed like the mystery was to obvious...but of course it wasn't. The romance between Cade and Tory and the romance between Wade and Faith would have kept me reading even if I had solved the mystery early in the book. Just a look in. Tory is psychic who was raised to believe her abilities come from the devil so she spends most of her life wishing it away. If the psychic thing bothers you, please still read because it does not overpower the story and is not even the most central theme....It has its role but it all seems reasonable. Wade and Tory are cousins and Torts parents are the family's disgrace. They live impoverished. Torys father is abusive and her mom allows and even believe it is deserved. Cade and Faith are siblings. Faith had a twin named Hope who was raped and brutally murdered at the ago of 8. Hope and Tory were best friends and more twins than Faith and Hope. It is the mystery of Hopes murder that is central to everything in the book. Solving this murder will go a long way to heal and mend many broken lives. This book is centered in Carolina..if you are wondering which..mostly South Carolina.. I live right outside of Raleigh, North Carolina and the author did briefly mention Raleigh. If you are wondering why the long review...this was a great book and I enjoyed the length and dynamics even though I read it straight through in a day. It was interesting and still twisting up until the last page. It left me smiling as I finished the last word. This is a page turner ....get ready to be hooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, not-sucky paranormal romance
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2015

I've read a good deal of Nora Roberts' books - particularly those with a supernatural element - because the world of paranormal romance is so abysmal and a girl needs some brain candy that actually doesn't rot the mind. This is the best yet. I've actually suspected Nora Roberts has ghost writers before (just based on how prolific and some variation in voice) and I would guess the same for this book. The characters are far more complex than the usual fare and there is actual *gasp* character development!

Loved the paranormal spin - a light touch and realistic (my fave). A warning that there are definitely dark themes in this book but nothing is too graphic IMHO, including the sex. An excellent balance between thriller, mystery and romance. Such an awesome find in the field of oversexed one-dim, ridiculous characters in leather, spike heels and unrealistic relationships wandering around through glitzy supernatural and hackneyed plots.

This book takes the time with the prose AND full-bodied secondary characters. A great read and brain candy that doesn't leave you rolling your eyes, snorting and then feeling stupidly dirty if you actually make it through the whole book!

Other recs along this line are the Donovan Legacy books and the Three Sisters Island (only book 1 & 2 though) - but these are more simple and formulaic though very enjoyable and definitely above par.

Wow, could not put this book down once I started. So many different characters to follow and emotional strings pulled. Unexpected twists and turns.
So cleverly written that it drags you into the town and the characters lives and feelings - fear, humour, frustration, anger, sadness, passion, love, courage and strength.
Had to remember to breath through some parts as found I was holding my breath. Intense, nail biting and definitely one of the best of Nora Roberts books that I have read to date. Totally enthralling. Definitely one to read.
