A review by sophronisba
The House at Riverton by Kate Morton

emotional sad tense medium-paced

4.0

It's probably best not to read Kate Morton novels back to back because you begin to spot the flaws -- the melodrama, the thin characterization, the neat bows at the end, did I mention the melodrama? -- but still in a time of stress it's oddly soothing to know that people living in huge English country houses with only a loose need for income _also_ seem to have significant stressors in their lives. I still enjoyed it! But I needed a break from the English countryside afterwards.
