About this listen

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult comes a compelling and disturbing novel about a prep school teacher accused of rape by a group of young girls, the woman who stands by him, and the repercussions of the case in a small New England town where the past is only a heartbeat away.

Love can redeem a man...but secrets and lies can condemn him.

A handsome stranger comes to the sleepy New England town of Salem Falls in hopes of burying his past: Once a teacher at a girls' prep school, Jack St. Bride was destroyed when a student's crush sparked a powder keg of accusation. Now, washing dishes for Addie Peabody at the Do-or-Diner, he slips quietly into his new routine, and Addie finds this unassuming man fitting easily inside her heart. But amid the rustic calm of Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets - and they maliciously target Jack with a shattering allegation.

Now, at the center of a modern-day witch hunt, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence: to a town searching for answers, to a justice system where truth becomes a slippery concept written in shades of gray, and to the woman who has come to love him.

Engaging enthralling plot. Brilliant parallels with the Salem witch hunt. The final denouement is shocking and yet recognisable

Stunning

I loved it, I wish there was a sequel! There was a few bits that alluded to Jillys father being her abuser, but not sure

Immediately gripping

First book I've listened to on Audible. I have read a lot of Jodi Picoult books and this is just as good. easy voice to listen to and great story line

Great Read

Huge fan of Jodi Picoult but this is not my favourite. It’s still good but not her usual brilliance. Was a little distracted by the sipping and swallowing of the actress, who otherwise did a good job.

Good - not great

Was very surprised at this book. Thought about not listening to it after the second chapter but persisted just in case then it came and went in waves. Very predictable. The performance was overall good only you could hear the reader stopping to swallow and taking breathing breaks which were distracting and normally does not happen in other audio books.
I love Jodie books but not this one! Not a fan at all !
