It took me such a long time to really connect with the story, for this, the fifth of Morton's novels. Though she is a personal favourite of mine, there were times when I wondered if this book was a bit of a dud, but she came good & I got hooked, as I always do. The ending was unexpected & I can see why other reviewers have complained that it was finished a little too cleanly.
All in all, a fairly well-written, twisty gem for Morton!

Have you ever read a book that completely transports you into the folds of its story, leaving you quietly contemplative at its conclusion. For me, this was that book. I was completely at the mercy of the story. I smiled, I sat with tears streaming down my face & I imagined myself living the circumstances of its characters - I became a part of the story in a way. As I closed the very last page, I felt changed in some way.
I would completely recommend this book to anyone looking for something new to get stuck into!

I feel like everything Gilbert was trying to say with this book, could have been achieved within two chapters. I flipped through the rest...
