I have loved all her books: bringing present and past together
Some readers complain that Kate Morton's books are too long. That they drag a bit in the middle. That they could be edited down. All of this is true, but I'm glad to linger in the worlds Morton creates. I enjoy the leisurely unfolding of characters and places and motives and secrets. When reading stories that take place over decades and generations, what's the rush?
Like all of Morton's books, this one involves a smart, contemporary woman delving into the past to uncover long-held family secrets, solve a mystery or two, and repair one or two relationships along the way. It's immersive and entertaining and satisfying if you're in the mood to curl up and get lost for a while.

I loved her writing but she could hold back a little bit more on the amount of words/ description that really add to the story e.g. no one needs to know how to get through airport security in a murder mystery book. Ended up skipping whole paragraphs and pages hence the dropping of .5 great book otherwise!!
