About this listen
“What do you have to lose, Kate?” Ryan asked me, as we stood on the bluff looking out on Lake Michigan.
Turns out, almost everything.
When I first moved from Manhattan to this small town six years ago, I worried about many things. I worried about finding a job. I worried that I’d be bored. I worried that my relationship with charming photographer Ryan Breslow was moving too fast. But I never worried about whether the ground beneath my feet would crumble—both literally and figuratively.
My marriage didn’t go as I’d imagined. A year ago, Ryan met his untimely death in a car accident that’s still under investigation. Isolated and alone, all I wanted was to sell my home and leave Crest Lake and its painful memories behind. But with my home inching ever closer to the edge of the crumbling bluff, the property has become unmarketable. All of us on the lakefront have lost chunks of property, and tempers are at a boiling point about what to do next.
And now, on the evening of a contentious vote about how to fix this pressing issue, my nemesis on the shoreline committee has been murdered. I know how it looks, but it’s not what it seems. But I have to get my plan passed and cash out.
Because I do have secrets.
And they won’t stay buried forever.

"Gripping and full of surprises, THE BLUFF is a clever psychological suspense with layered characters and an atmospheric setting. Traymore masterfully ratchets up the tension little-by-little until the surprising, explosive end."—Tracey Devlyn, USA Today bestselling author

The Bluff
What a well balanced story. It has all the perfect hidden secrets that slowly come out. I also loved how she used her education to learn more about her husband’s behavior. Great characters as well and I loved the ending! I think we all love a good karma ending. For me it was a fast listen. Once I was invested I needed to finish! The narration was spot on. She did an amazing job with the cast.

Amazing Story and Ending!
Wow! Bonnie Traymore has done it again, but this time you just won’t believe it when you get to the end of this book! I love all the previous books I have listened to before this one, but this one is my new favorite! Once I started listening, I couldn’t stop until I finished. This is a must listen book with lots of action, twists and turns and total shock along the way. Meghan Kelly does a fantastic job at narrating this thriller with all the different voices and emotions. I can’t wait for Bonnie’s next book!

You never know who is surrounding you
I found this story entertaining and had an opportunity to play a guessing game about who the real killer is. I appreciated how the lead character used her training in psychology in her personal life and maintained her composure under trying circumstances. The unexpected conclusion contributed a small bit of karma.
Meghan Kelly did an excellent job narrating. The story was entertaining to listen to and easy to follow.

Never would have guessed
I’ve listened to several of Bonnie Traymore’s books. I’ve liked all of them but this was by far the best. It really kept me guessing and revealed things at just the right times. Now to go find another one!

A thrilling story of psychological suspense!
Mother Nature is claiming the bluff on Lake Michigan. As their lake front properties are eroding, the Crest Lake citizens are fighting over the best way to stop the damage. Kate Breslow has a good plan to present to the town council, but on the night of the crucial vote her nemesis is found dead. Shockingly, this is not the first time Kate is a person of interest in a suspicious death. This is an excellent psychological thriller with a lot of unexpected twists and turns and a shocking ending. The narration by Meghan Kelly is outstanding. She creates different voices for each character that is perfect for their description and personality. Her performance is also perfect for the suspenseful atmosphere of the story. The narration brings the whole story and characters to life. Overall an absolutely amazing audiobook!

Awesome story!
I found this storyline to be really interesting, mysterious, chilling, and well written throughout. I think you will love this story if you like mystery’s.
The narrator does an amazing job with the characters and the voices of each character making it easy to understand whom is speaking. She is one of my favorite narrators and she does great work.
I definitely recommend this book and the narrator.

My Thoughts on The Bluff
I really enjoyed this new story by Bonnie Traymore. It had so many twists and turns I didn’t see coming. It was really such an entertaining listen that held my attention from start to finish. I thought it was told in an interesting way, with two points of view. And it was amazingly performed by Meghan Kelly. She gave such great energy to the characters, especially the leading lady Kate. I absolutely want more from this author and this narrator.

It will keep you to the edge of your seat
First one by the author but not my first from Meghan Kelly
The Bluff by Bonnie Traymore is a thriller that keeps you hooked from the first page till the end. It’s a slow burn thriller that will have you loving the characters and the word building that the author wrote .
Meghan Kelly did all the characters spot on. Her tone for all the characters and scenes were fantastic. She was able to draw you into the story
