This is a story of Milderhurst Castle and the family that lives within the stone walls.

I read and liked Kate Morton's books: The Forgotten Garden, The Secret Keeper and The House at Riverton. I was disappointed in this book. I found it hard to get into and by page 250 I wanted to stop reading but I figured I must push on. It was not until I hit the 400's did I want to keep reading. It would have been nice if she included the story of the Mud Man and not just a prologue. The book keeps referring to it. This book is over 500 pages, she could have included a 250 page book of the Mud Man and it would have taken nothing away from the story. The book had too much filler.
