"I loved this book!!! You have to really pay attention to try to solve the mystery yourself…I like that in a book. A young woman receives a letter that she is heir to an English estate after her grandmother dies…but that’s not her grandmother…or is it???"

"Ware continues to keep the mystery going; even when I thought I had one piece of the puzzle worked out, she threw another curveball - and I was proven wrong. Though I had one or maybe two issues with the story, it all holds together in the end."

"Typical ruth fashion, I was enthralled with the setting, making guesses about the characters, couldn't quite get the pieces together, and then she drops the bomb. It's artful how it all comes together! I've loved everything I've read from her. "

"Took me awhile to get through this one but maybe just because it was close to Christmas. Ending was a little confusing but surprising. "
