Customer Reviews

this will keep you guessing

I like the way this book opened with a suspenseful sequence, giving you just enough information to hook you but not enough to give anything away. I didn't figure out how it was going to end until the end, but enjoyed the clues. The author develops each character , when the story permits. She does a good job with all ages of characters, from teenager to elderly. The description of the surrounding country side was perfect. I have visited Millbrook both this summer and last and found myself picturing some of the farms as the author described the locations of each scene. Buy this, read it, good night time reading , not too scarey for before bed but you might find yourself staying up later than you expected to. I found myself trying to read and eat lunch in a restaurant while reading this book and I did let my food get cold.
