I mainly enjoyed Ellen and Lucky’s stories, and discovering how they were connected. The modern day plot had a good concept to help push the narrative along, but Andie was annoying and frankly not good at her job. I don’t think they needed to create a romance between her and Luke, and should’ve focused more on her uncovering the mystery of the house.

So few pages and already so many repetitions - and maybe I'm not that intereseted in silly rich people, either.

So confusing. As others have said it could have used a family tree. So many characters, and maybe they were all related, or not? The plot was thin, just not a great book overall.
