This isn't quite as engaging to me as The Forgotten Garden, but the unexpected twist about Dorothy and Vivien's friendship is really good and had me going back several chapters, looking for clues that I missed. [spoiler] I wonder why I didn't catch how Vivien initially never speaks to or interacts...
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the plot and I liked the journey that Morton takes you on with the characters. I started off feeling a great deal of sympathy for Dolly and found Vivien cold and untouchable. However as the story progressed things started to turn - Dolly turned out to be an unreli...

Whoever wrote the blurb on the back of The Secret Keeper, was not exaggerating. You will most definitely be surprised by all the twists and turns of this mystery.

Kate Morton is hit and miss for me. I loved The House at Riverton, which more than adequately filled the Downton Abbey gap in my life between seasons one and two. I didn't like The Forgotten Garden, which felt disjointed and predictable. I found The Distant Hours to be too strongly reminiscent of Di...
After reading an excellent book, I get the feeling like it was the one I've been waiting for....the reason I love to read and that its going to be hard to follow! The story weaves effortlessly between the present and the past. I became invested in the characters, the mystery, the story.Kate Morton h...
This was my favourite Kate Morton book so far. I was pretty sure I'd figured it out by about 75% through, but had I? Hmmm, it took a while to get he answer!
