The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr
3.0
The Country Guesthouse is the fifth book in Robyn Carr’s Sullivan’s Crossing series, and as with all the books in the series it works perfectly fine as a standalone novel. Although you get to see characters from the prior books in this one, it is not necessary to have read their stories to enjoy this one – it’s simply an added bonus.
Although I did enjoy The Country Guesthouse, I’m going to be honest and say it’s not my favourite in the series. I powered through it in a single sitting, as I do with all Robyn Carr books, but this one didn’t quite wow me to the same degree as the other books in the series.
As always, Robyn Carr takes a real issue and pulls you into the story. You quickly connect to the characters and find yourself desperate to see how their stories come together. However, with this one, I found myself wanting more. It was great to see how things developed, but there were certain elements of the story I would have liked to have seen more of, there were certain elements I would have liked to have been given more depth.
There is no doubt it was an enjoyable read and I loved how things played out, but this isn’t my number one Robyn Carr read. For fans of Sullivan’s Crossing, however, The Country Guesthouse is a nice addition to the series.
