I did not finish the book. I felt that the publisher had asked the author to extend this book as much as possible for more money. I had enjoyed three of the author's books but this book was extremely boring. After over 200 pages I closed the book. The plot line was extremely slow to say the least. How many pages can a person read the same thing. Very disappointing.

Kate Morton scores again
This book delivers all the twists and turns akin to previous books by Kate Morton. It goes from early 1900's to modern day. Travels from Australia to England. The characters are exciting and fresh. Had me guessing until the very end.
