Another fantastic novel from Morton. I still can't believe I am just discovering this author. This is the second book I have read and it was equally as good as The House at Riverton.

A hauntingly beautiful
masterpiece with so many

convinced the author is a genius. Secrets, lies, and mysteries
make this a page-turner.
