This area is for discussion about the March 2024 book selection, The Skeleton Key, while we are reading it.

Please make use of the spoilers function ([spoiler]...[/spoiler] but replace [] with <>) as appropriate to be sure we don't ruin parts of the book for others.

Tiffany (herbtiff) | 176 comments Will we learn more about Billie? I'm not that far into the book, but I'm trying to figure out all the family dynamics. and how to say Dom's children's names. I know it told us how, and I even made a screen shot of the page.

I read it previously----it was quite a story.


Dawn (dawnella77) | 156 comments I finished reading it, Although, I am disappointed in the book and relieved the agony of reading is over. I felt no connection to the characters and the relationships were just as confusing as the treasure hunt. I gave it three stars.


Tiffany (herbtiff) | 176 comments Dawn, I feel much the same as you. I'm not sure the last few chapters matched the Nell character.

I agree Tiffany. I hoped Nell's character would develop into a strong female. I also thought Cora was a mess and wished she would have grown by the end of the novel.


Tiffany (herbtiff) | 176 comments Cora, I am so disappointed in that character. But I do wonder if her character may be a perfect example of some women from that era?


Tiffany (herbtiff) | 176 comments Oddly enough, the Billie character was the only character that seemed "true."


message 11: by Dawn (new) - rated it 3 stars

Dawn (dawnella77) | 156 comments I agree Tiffany , Billie was the only character that seemed genuine and remained in character throughout the book. Cora may have been a product of her time and I wonder if she was completely loyal to Frank.
