About this listen

New York Times best-selling 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.

Not a bad one

I liked it as it was easy listening but I hated Caroline’s voice which stopped me enjoying it as much as I could

Early Nora at her best!

I've listened to this book numerous times. The narrator brings it to life and the twist at the end still surprises me every time.
It displays it's age a little, with a lot of smoking and lack of mobile phones, but is still really enjoyable.

Fantastic narrator.

As a bon-American, I found the accent truly horrendously difficult to understand at first., so it was not relaxing. Once, I became accustomed to the dialect, the book be became really interesting- but the dramatic narration made a fairly trite book fascinating.

WOW!!!

This book had a bit of everything. Romance, Mystery, Murder and Mayhem. The narrator really drew you into the story.

A must read/listen for any Nora Roberts fan

Great story wonderfully told with accents

Many characters well rounded, fascinating storyline keeping us guessing. I loved the accents used to tell it, too.

Love the twist at the end

I really liked this book, yet another one of Nora Roberts books to not disappoint. Really didn’t expect the twist at the end as my head couldn’t remember who was left who committed the murders. Brilliant !

A terrific story

I have read and listened to several Nora Roberts books and think that this is the best one yet. The Longstreet family were the big guns in the small town of Innocence, Mississippi. Dwayne, the eldest, sees life through the bottom of a bottle, his sister Josie, dissatisfied with her life, uses her promiscuity to pass the time whilst Tucker, the youngest son, is goodnatured but idle. The vicious killing of several young local women and the arrival in town of Caroline, a young concert violinist, fleeing from her dominating mother and an unhappy love affair, combine to make him sit up and start taking notice. There is horror, mystery, romance and quite a bit of humour in the tale that follows and a very big plus is the excellent narration by Tom Stechschulte.

Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts

Another absolute belter by The one & only Nora Roberts. This book was written in 1991 but please don’t let the age of the story put you off. Amazing twist at the end, and the Narrator was phenomenal.
I would give 100 stars if I could.

Good murder mystery with a twist of romance

Would you consider the audio edition of Carnal Innocence to be better than the print version?

I didn't enjoy the accents in this book, I know it fitted in with where the book was set, but I did find it very annoying.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Carnal Innocence?

I didn't realise who had done it, I usually have a good idea by half way through a book, but this one threw me, very well written

Would you listen to another book narrated by Tom Stechschulte?

Depends whether it was his accent or one he was putting on for the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did finish this book in two days, as couldn't put it down
