After putting off Susanna Kearsley's second novel because her first was so darned wordy, I see experience does pay off. She could still trim a lot of adjectives, adverbs, and fanciful description. There is strong beauty in good, direct description. However this is far more endurable than the soft adverbs of "Marianna". I like a livelier pace without romance. Straight mystery would do but there is intrigue here.

I am happy to see that I am liking this story right away. Susanna Kearsley's first novel was too wordy with pointless adverbs, especially the weakening kind like "idly", "softly". I love from the start an interesting premise: a female and male cousin who grew up as best pals, meeting on a research trip for him. Emily is the bilingual protagonist following him to France. Susanna certainly presents Canadians well!
