It's books like this that makes it a shame that you can only give 5 stars. Such a wonderful book with a history lesson of London during World War II. So many twists and turns making it hard to put down. A brilliant ending that was totally unexpected but pleasantly received. There would have been...

If you haven't read this book yet run, don't walk, to a bookstore and get it now. This is definitely one of the best historical fiction books of the year, if not one of the best books (in general) of the year. This is my first time reading a book by Kate Morton and I know it clearly won't be the las...

I must be cynical and getting old but if a book could be edited to be more succinct, it would really help 'readability'. This is a sprawling novel and I read at a gallop and still it felt too long for me. Different POVs usually adds to the plot but I felt the author was playing hard to get and the m...

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. This book is amazing to say the least! It took me a little while to get through the almost 600 pages, but they were needed to unravel the mystery that is Dorothy Nicholson. If this review seems a little vague, it is because I don’t want to give away any spoiler...

I am shelving this halfway through. It's not compelling enough to hold my interest, but loyalty to Kate Morton might drive me back some time.

Read my full review @ http://bit.ly/R3eHi4My opinion: I love me some Kate Morton and have read each and every one of her books. Hands down, I consider her to be one of the most original authors I have read. She has continued this tradition of high quality writing in The Secret Keeper. Morton has a h...

From my blog:And just when I was having my doubts, Kate Morton managed to do what she does best… entrance you.I realistically have no idea where to start this review at, this is such a complex story with so many twists and turns and heart pulls that it is going to seem like I’m talking in a loop.The...

No spoilers. I promise. Which means I won't go into much plot detail. In 1961, when Laurel Nicolson was sixteen, she witnessed a shocking event. She and her mother were the only ones who knew the truth, and they never spoke of it. Fast-forward to 2011. Laurel is a famous actress in her sixties, and ...
