The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
5.0

Kate Morton has been one of my favorite authors since high school, when I first discovered her work. This latest novel does not disappoint in the slightest. It is that very specific brand of ghost story meets mystery meets historical fiction that I particularly enjoy, and like her other novels, it weaves the threads of various perspectives (and time periods- Victorian to present) into a beautifully intricate tapestry. My head is still marveling at the plot twists that are so masterfully constructed. Whimsical, rich, and intensely satisfying, this is the perfect book to curl up with on a rainy afternoon, cup of tea at the ready.
