(SK loves to recommend books, doesn't he?) Anyway, on this choice, King got it right. I discovered this novel while perusing a recommended book list from Stephen King. Robert Goddard has a mesmerizing style that lets the reader know they're in good hands. The author juggles a variety of characters and the juggling is seamless. This is a clever and heavily constructed puzzle with dashes of romance and plenty of deception to go around. This family saga murder mystery takes place mostly in England while the tribs of WWI is raging on.

In this mystery, a young woman discovers long-kept secrets surrounding her birth and now has new secrets of her own to carry. Fortunately, Robert Goddard is a strong hoss. I tend to be a little harsher with my 'hit or miss' proclamations. I've never been a huge fan of British mysteries.
