The Unknown Beloved: A Novel

Written by Amy Harmon

Narrated by Rob Shapiro

From the bestselling author of Where the Lost Wander and What the Wind Knows comes the evocative story of two people whose paths collide against the backdrop of mystery, murder, and the Great Depression.

Chicago, 1923: Ten-year-old Dani Flanagan returns home to find police swarming the house, her parents dead. Michael Malone, the young patrolman assigned to the case, discovers there’s more to the situation—and to Dani Flanagan herself—than the authorities care to explore. Malone is told to shut his mouth, and Dani is sent away to live with her spinster aunts in Cleveland.

Fifteen years later, Michael Malone is summoned to Cleveland to investigate a series of murders that have everyone stumped, including his friend and famed Prohibition agent Eliot Ness, now Cleveland’s director of safety. There, in a city caught in the grip of a serial killer, Dani and Malone cross paths once again.

Malone is drawn to Dani and her affinity for the dead and compassion for the destitute. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that she could help him solve his case. As terror descends on the city and Malone and Dani confront the dark secrets that draw them together, it’s a race to find the killer or risk becoming his next victims.

[Daphne Dominique · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another great story from Amy Harmon. Great narrator! The book was very entertaining. Characters were very likable. I hope it’s not the last book with Michael Malone.

I will continue to read Amy Harmon's books. Her stories are always so original and intriguing. This one is set in the late 30s using historical figures and bringing to life a person who infiltrated Al Capone's mob to help bring down this mobster.

[Kristine Jekutis · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The story sounded amazing . I will have to read this, I cannot stand a book about women read by a man . It’s not authentic.
