Publisher's Summary

A mother vanished. A father presumed guilty. There is no proof. There are no witnesses. For the children, there is only doubt. From the New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob. . . .

“Astonishing, powerful, and provocative, this book is worth the excruciating wait for another William Landay.”—Louise Penny, author of A World of Curiosities

One afternoon in November 1975, ten-year-old Miranda Larkin comes home from school to find her house eerily quiet. Her mother is missing. Nothing else is out of place. There is no sign of struggle. Her mom’s pocketbook remains in the front hall, in its usual spot.

So begins a mystery that will span a lifetime. What happened to Jane Larkin?

Investigators suspect Jane’s husband. A criminal defense attorney, Dan Larkin would surely be an expert in outfoxing the police.

But no evidence is found linking him to a crime, and the case fades from the public’s memory, a simmering, unresolved riddle. Jane’s three children—Alex, Jeff, and Miranda—are left to be raised by the man who may have murdered their mother.

Two decades later, the remains of Jane Larkin are found. The investigation is awakened. The children, now grown, are forced to choose sides. With their father or against him? Guilty or innocent? And what happens if they are wrong?

A tale about family—family secrets and vengeance, but also family love—All That Is Mine I Carry With Me masterfully grapples with a primal question: When does loyalty reach its limit?

Critic Reviews

“Told from four perspectives, this audio provides listeners with fragments of the mystery through the eyes of Phil (Jeff's childhood friend), Jeff, Dan, and Jane herself. Each member of the quartet of narrators—David de Vries, Joyce Bean, Patrick Lawlor, and Scott Merriman—performs a different point-of-view, taking the production to a higher level and capturing the essence of the characters over a 40-year timespan. [T]heir collective performances transport listeners into the minds of each character. Most notable are Bean's portrayal of Jane and Lawlor's of Dan. The use of multiple narrators enhances Landay's (Defending Jacob) latest and will have listeners fully invested in Jane's story. A production well worth the listen.”Library Journal

“This is an example of a great story with narrators who understand their characters and who portray them beautifully. The unique aspect of the story—and an added challenge for the narrators—is that multiple first-person perspectives are used. A woman is missing, and suspicion is cast on her husband. The family is split over his innocence. The emotions that come with this horrific situation are clearly embraced by the quartet of narrators. Frustration and anger boil over. Sarcasm seeps in. Each of the three children is a different person with their own baggage, and the narration captures them all while alternating between time frames. A detective with an appropriate New England accent is particularly well done. The book is riveting, the narrators carry the pace, and the twists are well supported yet surprising.”AudioFIle Magazine

“The story is told in four parts and the different narrators add psychological suspense to the intricately plotted storyline.… The open-ended conclusion is thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to consider the nature of parental and familial relationships. Readers of Oyinkan Braithwaite and Mary Kubica will enjoy the tonal quality and unique characterizations. As the narrators change, so do the characters' perceptions of each other, giving the listener a multifaceted experience of this moving family saga.”Booklist

Great reading

A saga of love, family, betrayal, lies and crime. A sad story that makes you think about it long after you finish the book.
