About the book: Claire Trowling is on a quest. After receiving news of her sister Becca’s abrupt disapperance, Claire must piece together the shadowy remnants of a past she’s long forgotten in order to find her.
A cryptic note scrawled in Becca’s handwriting leaves more questions than it answers. When a stack of mysterious letters along with a rare necklace is found, Claire races to discover the secrets that hold her family captive.
My review: This story has an interesting plot and great setting – I love both England and North Carolina! I liked how she went back and forth telling relevant parts of the story from the past and then bringing us back up to the mystery of the present. The family drama is intriguing and lightly suspenseful. I have to admit – I love stories about families and stories about families with secrets/secret pasts are all the better!
I found it a little hard to believe that a woman would leave her family so abruptly with no real explanation other than some vague clues. Also this novel is very much about the story and I felt that some deeper character development would have added nicely to the book.
Overall though, a fine job of writing and a great debut for A. J. Kiesling. I look forward to what else she has for us!
