I read one book by this lady and I liked it, so I requested this one. I liked this one as well. She has an ambience to her books that keep you coming back to get to the story, and when the book is over you are perplexed as to how much has happened and yet how little has changed. A certainly different atmosphere. Her books leave you with an eerie sense that something more needs to be explained, but then you realize that all her books are a little off-center.

This is the first novel of Ms. Livesey's that I've read, and it's a doozy. It's got intrigue, mystery, masterful character and plot development, and no easy answers. I highly recommend this gripping book, but warn you that there are some disturbing elements. This is not fluff.
