From the book description: Filled with shocking twists and turns, THE TWIN'S DAUGHTER is an engrossing gothic novel of betrayal, jealousy, and treacherous secrets that will keep you guessing to the very end. I was not guessing to the very end. I called it at the 48% mark. Not that I'm a remark...
Well, alright then, there was stuff I was missing. I liked it. I'm not over-the-moon about it or anything, but in the end it was all pretty well done. I do like when a character has a revelation that I have seen coming for ages, but then that is not the final truth. The mood carried well throu...
It is unlike any book I have ever read. Its a Gothic mystery. Usually I am not a fan of Gothic stories but this one was an exception. The book is well written, with a fairly good plot which will keep you guessing until the end.The story begins when Lucy opened the door to her aunt who looked so much...
More than the plot or the cover, what attracted me to read this book were the reviews. Almost all of them say that it is similar to a Victoria Holt book. And I get why. It is written in 1st person (Lucy's POV), the setting is in a grand house and there is an eerie mystery going on. However, the real...
1.5 stars.Whoa, there was a lot of affairs and general weirdness going on this book. Her Aunt Helen and her father. Her Mom and Richard. I would have liked Aunt Helen except for the fact that she was sneaky and having it on with Lucy's father. That is never okay. Ever. And poor poor Lucy. She is alw...
I'm giving this 4 stars based soley on the fact that I enjoyed it enough to lose precious sleep and stay up late to finish it. As my hubby will tell you, you don't mess with my sleep so that's saying something. Now, I'm not saying this is a great piece of literary fiction - only that I enjoyed it....
3 1/2 stars. I was expecting this book to be much creepier. While I liked reading about the different events that took place as Lucy grew up, I felt like the story dragged and meandered too much before getting back to the mystery. I think the main thing that bothers me about this book is that... Luc...
The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is an historical fiction mystery for young adult readers. It really has all the necessary ingredients for an enjoyable read -- especially the finely spun web of mystery.The story is told in first person narrative from the viewpoint of Lucy. She is born in...
I really loved this book, it was entertaining with an interesting (slightly predictable) twist. I would definitely recommend it for middle schoolers or lower high school students.
I hate doing plot descriptions. Let's see, what do you need to know. Historical novel, circa World War I (I got that from the SLJ-review--the time period is never specified in the book), London. Lucy lives with her wealthy parents, and her life is quite unremarkable until the day that her mother'...
