Synopsis
Every gift has a price . . . Every piece of lace has a secret . . .
My name is Towner Whitney. No, That's not exactly true. My real first name is Sophya. Never believe me. I lie all the time . . .
Towner Whitney, the self-confessed unreliable narrator of The Lace Reader, hails from a family of Salem women who can read the future in the patterns in lace, and who have guarded a history of secrets going back generations, but the disappearance of two women brings Towner home to Salem and the truth about the death of her twin sister to light. The Lace Reader is a mesmerizing tale that spirals into a world of secrets, confused identities, lies, and half-truths in which the reader quickly finds it's nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction, but as Towner Whitney points out early on in the novel, 'There are no accidents.'

Reviews
This listenr recommends the abridged version maybe it would help the story to move along. Details, details, details! Frankly, this listener was heard to say aloud,Just get on witn it! The synopsis intrigued then disappointed and finally annoyed. I give it two stars because.. the twist at the end was clever and unexpected. This story had potential, could have gone in several directions, but it didnt.
