About this listen
The Sunday Times bestseller
Every town has its ugly little secrets...
From the outside, the house in Lakeview Terrace looks perfect and the Bigelows seem like the perfect family: the respected surgeon father, the glamorous, devoted mother and two beautiful children. A perfect family, in a perfect house living their perfect lives.
But perfect surfaces can hide dark undercurrents and behind closed doors lies a very different story. Teenager Zane and his younger sister, Britt, are terrorised by their violent father and dysfunctional mother. Too afraid to speak out, Zane does his best to protect his sister and counts the days until they can finally be free.
One dark, brutal night when their father's temper takes a horrifying turn for the worse, the perfect façade is exposed for the lie it is and Zane and Britt manage to escape. With the help of their beloved aunt, they rebuild their lives a day at a time, creating new families and putting their past behind them. But a childhood like that can cast a shadow the length of a lifetime. Can Zane and Britt ever be free of their past? Or will those dark undercurrents rise to the surface, forcing them to fight for their lives once again...

"[Under Currents] is brilliantly plotted and unrelentingly propulsive. It is a beautifully written story about the fragility of life and the power of the past and the need to fight back... a highly recommended novel for this summer." (The Washington Book Review)
"...full of powerful, magnetic characters." (Publishers Weekly)

Characters
As a victim of DV, I sometimes find it a bit triggering with Nora’s storyline’s, but I always love that they get their comeuppance in the end, which mine ex has not yet gotten (I pray for karma!).
As usual this story has wonderful characters that you love right off the bat, it has suspense and is just a good easy read.
Narrator does a good job with male and female voices.

Definitely one of Nora Roberts all time best. January La Voy is an incredibly talented narrator. Sure there are plot holes but it was worth overlooking them for the enjoyment of great dialogue.

Couldn’t be better!
Couldn’t wait to listen to his book and was sad when I only had two hours remaining! Nora Roberts is an all time favorite author of mine and she hasn’t disappointed with Under Currents. Some could say ‘predictable’ but I honestly loved every ‘page’. The narrator brilliantly brought each character to life and never once didn’t I think she was boring to listen to. I was truly sorry when this book finished and could only hope the characters continue on with happy lives in my imagination:)
