Summary

1995, London. When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of 95 he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family but also a secret so shocking, so devastating that it could rock the English establishment to its core. 

Joanna Haslam is an ambitious young journalist assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral. The great and the good of the celebrity world are there. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind, the contents of which others have been desperate to conceal for over 70 years. 

As she peels back the veil of lies that has shrouded the secret, she realizes that there are other forces attempting to prevent her from discovering the truth. And they'll stop at nothing to reach the letter before she does.

Ridiculous

Love Lucinda Riley’s Light behind the Window, thought this would be good...totally disappointed, ridiculous plot that went on forever and ever..may be me at the moment but wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Waste of my time

Made it to the conclusion- but not worth it. Not really believable.
Narration was good though.

Good Performance / Ludicrous Story

Very disappointed by the story - can only presume it was a very early novel by Lucinda Riley - don’t waste your money!

Brilliant!

As usual Lucinda Riley keeps me enthralled until the very end. I couldn’t stop listening to this book until it was finished. Although it is very different to her other books it was no less enthralling.
I loved the twists and turns of the plot and the surprises which don’t stop until the very end.

UN-BELIEVABLE

This had got to be one of the worst books I ever bought... I must have been completely insane buying it. I can only imagine I did it to complete a 2 for 1 deal.
It was the most predicable tosh, What twists and turns???? I mean really?? the other reviewers who rated this were obviously Mills and Boon fanatics Barbara Cartland at her very very worst.
The only thing that amused me was the royal relationships and MI5......... their pathetic belief that the royals had to be protected from scandal at any cost..... WHY??? .So what's changed eh??
Why didn't I ask for a refund? Didn't want to push my luck and do it too often, and to my shame I listened to it all..
I hope the narrator was well paid it must have been dreadful having to try and make it sound as though she actually gave a stuff..
Please don't waste your money or even worse a credit..it really is complete tripe

Be prepared for no sleep...riveting book

This is a wonderfully written book that keeps you spell bound until the last page. The author as always has done research that makes the book very believable. The threads of characters and stories that weave throughout the book make it one of those that you just can't stop listening to! A great read!

Great story!

Very well written & performed, this story had me hooked right until the denouement at the very end. Surprising twists & shocks keeps the suspense going as the story built up. Highly recommend if you like a love story with a difference.

Fantastic, loved it.

Twists and turns kept you guessing, great narration.
I can feel another book brewing!
I didn’t want it to end, kept me gardening and cleaning for longer than usual.
Loved it.
