New York Times bestselling novelist Nora Roberts captivates millions of fans with her provocative blend of scorching passion and chilling suspense. With Carnal Innocence, she creates a gripping tale of murder, infatuation, and true love in a small southern town. After beautiful concert violinist Caroline Waverly breaks up with her conductor and lover Luis, she escapes to her late grandmother's home in Innocence, Mississippi. Instead of peace and tranquility, however, she finds the town torn with suspicion over two brutal murders. When she discovers a third victim in the murky waters behind her house, she turns to her dangerously handsome neighbor, Tucker Longstreet, for protection. But Tucker has a reputation for breaking hearts-even worse, the police count him their number one suspect. You'll want to lean back in your easy chair and let Nora Robert's steamy prose and Tom Stechschulte's stirring interpretation transport you to Innocence where the nights are filled with promise and secrets are hard to keep.

“Roberts plunks a pair of likable lovers into an equally likable rural Southern community; she then keeps the story from turning sweeter than blackstrap molasses by setting loose a serial killer.”
— Publishers Weekly“Tom Stechschulte perfectly captures the sweet, slow rhythms of the small Southern town, spicing his honey with a little cayenne.”
— AudioFile" I have only started to enjoy Ms. Roberts this year, but this one is number one so far. There was so many twist and turns it will keep you wondering who the killer is. Very good read "
— Deborah, 5/30/2016" My absolute favorite NR book of all time. "
— Shy, 2/16/2014" I liked it. Entertaining, I liked the characters. I would like to see continuing stories of this book. "
— Jean, 2/14/2014" I love a good murder mystery, especially one with a twist. This book however took me awhile to get through, just didn't grab my attention for long like other Nora Roberts books. But it was decent. "
— Aimee, 1/29/2014" Listen to on audiobook! Loved it! "
— Yvette, 1/16/2014" This was one of the best Nora Roberts books I have ever read. "
— Marion, 1/6/2014" I liked Carnal Innocence, but thought it was not one of Nora's best. I didn't feel the normal tug when I read her books, thought that Caroline and Tucker should have been developed more. Not one of my favourites but it was still good. Don't know why I haven't read this book before now! "
— Nikki, 1/4/2014" Dreadful--couldn't finish it. I have liked some of Nora Roberts' fantasy romances in the past, but this is the second murder mystery of hers that I have abandoned. I'm done with her stuff. "
— MrsB, 12/19/2013" Shocking ending! Standard Nora Roberts. "
— Chrystal, 12/13/2013" Great beach reading -- the mystery continued throughout the book, it was hard to pinpoint the murderer. "
— Jacquie, 12/12/2013" Ohkay, so it's predictable (at least to me). But the characters and setting are believable and colorful. Well-written, as always. "
— Primadonna, 12/9/2013" I was about 2 chapters in when I realized that this book was a made for TV movie that I had seen a while back. Even knowing how it would end, it was great. So much more involved than the movie. "
— Cathy, 11/17/2013" Read this sometime back. Hero too laidback for my taste. "
— Wati, 8/18/2013" Whoops forgot to review....well what can you say it's Nora Roberts. So it's going to be a twisted love story. Expect that and you won't be disappointed. "
— Margaret, 8/14/2013" One of Nora Roberts' better stories. "
— Charlene, 7/9/2013" I loved it, from beginning to end! Tom Stechschulte was fabulous. I kinda, sorta guessed, who the murderer was, but I enjoyed the different relationships and the Southern accents. I loved Cy! "
— Elli, 6/18/2013" I really enjoyed this as an audio book - narrator was excellent, and he had an excellent story to tell. I enjoyed the slower pace of the story to coincide with the slower pace of the setting. Very good! "
— Annette, 6/7/2013" Great suspense novel! Kept my attention from page to page "
— Meshell, 5/16/2013" Enjoyed the characters and their chemistry. "
— Kelli, 5/14/2013" I enjoyed this mystery -- the ending was a twist (at least to me!) It's a great summer read. "
— Sandy, 12/31/2012" Wow! What an ending! Oooh, the rest was good too. I totally did NOT see it coming. Bravo, Nora, bravo. "
— Patricia, 12/18/2012" One of her older books. Lots of smoking, and southern folks written from a mold. Heroine is amazing violinist who doesn't practice much. Herois good ol boy who really is good. Serial killer and other psychos in Mississippi keep them on their toes. "
— Sola, 9/28/2012" One of my favorite books from Nora Roberts. It's romance, mystery, thrill, suspense and awesomeness packed into one book. "
— Jedaia, 9/2/2012" Buono, ma niente di trascendentale. Per certi aspetti, un po' la fotocopia de "Quella calda estate". "
