Synopsis

After her husband's death, a young widow with a faithful Great Dane must decide between two men -- but as new love blossoms, jealousy turns deadly in this suspenseful New York Times bestseller.

Julie Barenson's young husband left her two unexpected gifts before he died - a Great Dane puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now four years have passed. Still living in the small town of Swansboro, North Carolina, twenty-nine-year-old Julie is emotionally ready to make a commitment to someone again. But who?

Should it be Richard Franklin, the handsome, sophisticated engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband's best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she's had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by a chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire...

From AudioFile:

Narrator Anne Twomey unfolds this sinister story in beguiling, icy tones as Julie Barrenson returns to dating four years after her husband has died from a brain tumor. Little does she know that her devoted puppy, Singer, a surprise gift from her late husband, delivered after his death, will become her protector. Twomey's talent shines when she portrays the growing tension as Singer, with assertive growls, threatens to attack one of Julie's new suitors for no apparent reason. In bone-chilling tones, Twomey depicts the maniacal voice of madness that emerges as the story careens to a climax that almost costs Julie her life.
