After finding The House at Riverton to be quite a slog through, this one was a fresh change. Though the action is at times a bit drawn-out, I liked how Morton was able to grant the reader tiny pieces of the puzzle along the way. The story moves backwards and forwards through time and place but, surprisingly, this wasn't at all distracting but helped to move the story along. And while I did guess the ending about half-way through, the rest of the book was still satisfying and well worth a read!
