Book Description:
At the request of her beloved grandmother, war widow Kate Herrick returns to the idyllic English countryside and the tiny thatched dwelling of her childhood, Rose Cottage, where she must retrieve some valuable papers hidden in a secret safe. Yet Kate is intrigued to discover the mysterious documents have been stolen.
While eccentric villagers buzz with sightings of strange lights and ghostly apparitions around Rose Cottage, Kate uncovers a web of family resentment, jealousy, and revenge as tangled as the rambling vines in its garden. The twisted trail leads to a stunning revelation that opens the door to her own shrouded past--and an unexpected chance at love. . . .

This is a sweet very British tale about a young widow in post war Britain. Though the cover says it is a thriller, is in not written in the current fashion of thrillers. It is a subtle read - one that I enjoyed re-reading from my teens.
This is a terrific relax, sip an iced tea and hang out on a hammock kind of book...

This was a very sweet book about a young woman coming home to her past. Set in post WWII rural England, this offering by Ms. Stewart paints a lovely picture of a time past and throws in a bit of suspense which keeps your interest.

The style of this was definitely different from Stewart's Authurian Saga--in fact, it was hard for me to feel they were written by the same author. It was an okay read but just not a keeper for me (perhaps I just think too "American")...

If you like a cozy cottage setting in a semi peaceful little town read this little gem. I read cover to cover no stopping.
