by Kate Morton From the description: "June 1933, and the Edevane family's country house, Loeanneth, is polished and gleaming, ready for the much-anticipated Midsummer Eve party. Alice Edevane, sixteen years old and a budding writer, is especially excited. Not only has she worked out the perfect tw...
I never thought I would give a mystery novel 5 stars but it seems I’ve proven myself wrong. This book was crafted so well. It’s a character driven, multi perspective novel that’s heavy with foreshadowing. I’m a sucker for historical fiction but I tend to stay away from the 1900s/wartime era. I might...
This book was so full of twists and turns that I kept thinking I had figured it out, then I was wrong, then I really figured out this time, and so on and so on. SPOILER At first I thought the baby was the nanny's son and she had taken him to Canada. Then I thought it was Deborah's son after a liaiso...
Cold cases were always a challenge, but this one had the added folklore factor. The story had been told and retold so many times that people didn’t want an answer—outsiders, that is, people who weren’t involved; that the mystery was unsolvable was part of its appeal.

Thus begins this epic novel of 512 pages by bestselling author Kate Morton. Alice Edevane lives on the family estate in Cornwall, E...

I Just read this book. I had a little difficulty getting into this one but that may have had more to do with my own distractions than the book. Once into the book I was hooked. The combination of history, family drama and the mystery of who done it kept me captivated until I finished it. I loved it...
I am thinking that this is going to be my last Kate Morton read. I absolutely adored The Forgotten Garden. That entire book haunted me for days. It was so tragic and moving. The House at Riverton I was a little less enamored with, but still liked it overall. I honestly, don't remember The Distant Ho...
