COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Gosford Park-esque submitted by Sara W on June 21, 2011, 12:36am Readers interested in elaborate family sagas and long-simmering undercurrents and secrets will adore this book. The large cast of family members with their varied weaknesses, business ventures and indiscretions reminded me of the movie Gosford Park, especially with the glimpses of the upstairs life alongside that of the downstairs servants. There are also unexpected, intertwined familial connections, which adds to the readers' delight in untangling the tale.

Great book-take time in between reading her books submitted by beckyabondy on June 17, 2018, 11:02pm This was the 3rd book by Kate Morton I’ve read and while I loved it, I stopped after this one. All her books feel very similar. The mysteries are different in each but feel so similar. Overall this is a great book and the big reveal was awesome. Just harder if you read to close to her other books.
