Highest rating I’ve given any of the Seven Sisters books for a while but I’m still not sure I enjoyed it. I’m still sick of Lucinda Riley’s hamfisted handling of plots that have the potential to be far more emotionally meaningful.
There’s very little subtlety in this series despite the fact it masquerades as a great mystery - in this particular novel one character actually says out loud “it’s the greatest mystery ever!”
One book left to go but I don’t expect it to suddenly fix all the problems I have with the series thus far!

From Christina Anderley, member of Audiobook Addicts 21/05/24v in reference to my DNF of Book 6.
I dont remember there being any huge surprise regarding the wine cellar door (there may have been, but it doesn’t stick out specifically in my mind). What I would suggest is continuing to read the book, but keeping to the parts that take place in Africa. The historical part of the book, and all of the books really, is really relevant to the final book. You’ve probably read enough of the series for the final book to be relevant, but the story comes together really beautifully at the end and you’ll get the most out of it by sticking with those parts.
My response:
I think I'll see if the ebook is available to borrow. It would be easier to skip to the pertinent parts in text than in audio. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

It took me a while to get into it, but after that I enjoyed it as much as I did enjoy the rest of the series. A shame though that this books ends with a cliff hanger. I'm curious about Pa Salt and am looking forward to the next book
