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...

Critic reviews

"[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)

whilst at points the story seems to be a little over the top it is never the less a great listen and one that keeps you wanting to while away time too.

Harrowing story but I Struggled a little with the descriptive chapters of this book as they droned on and brought nothing to the storyline. This book would have been a great platform for the wonderful work Therapist/Counsellors do for abused children and adults. Unfortunately Roberts glanced over this where the kids were concerned and never mentioned anything about counselling being offered to the parents whilst they were in prison, especially as the mother needed to realise just how unhealthy her relationship was.
The Narrative was excellent as always from January LaVoy, the male voices were believable. I just feel that the book could have been a little shorter as not all your readers will know (or want to know) about shrubs and flowers Ms Roberts.

Should have been a couple chapters shorter!

I usually love Nora Roberts’ books particularly her thriller ones. Although this one was ok I wasn’t gripped by the story. The narrator is very good but I didn’t care about the main characters as I normally would. It was very easy to guess who the person was who broke in and the ending was not at all gripping- bit pathetic really.

Beautifully written so that you can see in your mind the scene, the colour and the beauty of the area. Plenty of ups and downs

Great story to 'take you away'
