England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Publisher's Summary
A missing child … June 1933, and the Edevane family’s country house, Loeanneth, is polished and gleaming, ready for the much-anticipated Midsummer Eve party. Alice Edevane, sixteen years old and a budding writer, is especially excited. Not only has she worked out the perfect twist for her novel, she’s also fallen helplessly in love with someone she shouldn’t. But by the time midnight strikes and fireworks light up the night skies, the Edevane family will have suffered a loss so great that they leave Loeanneth forever.
An abandoned house … Seventy years later, after a particularly troubling case, Sadie Sparrow is sent on an enforced break from her job with the Metropolitan Police. Sadie retreats to her beloved grandfather’s cottage in Cornwall but soon finds herself at a loose end. Until one day, she stumbles upon an abandoned house surrounded by overgrown gardens and dense woods and learns the story of a baby boy who disappeared without a trace.
An unsolved mystery… Meanwhile, in the attic writing room of her elegant Hampstead home, the formidable Alice Edevane, now an old lady, leads a life as neatly plotted as the bestselling detective novels she writes. Until a young police detective starts asking questions about her family’s past, seeking to resurrect the complex tangle of secrets Alice has spent her life trying to escape.
Critic Reviews
"Morton's plotting is impeccable, and her finely wrought characters, brought together in the end by Sparrow's investigation, are as surprised as readers will be by the astonishing conclusion." (Publishers Weekly)
"Once again she delivers the satisfactions of all her best sellers... Mysteries at the core, they draw depth and appeal from her carefully applied layers of family, history and moral conundrum." (Library Journal)
"An absorbing tale of family secrets." (Choice Magazine)

So many stories woven into one exquisitely
Just about every character in this book, has a story of intrigue that melds into one story, although there is a background story that plays its part. I will have to read it again to capture the many facets there- in. I love Kate Mortons eloquence, and turn of phrase She draws pictures with her words; quite lovely.

Couldn’t wait to finish, but didn’t want it to end
A beautiful story with the most amazing details.
I had to make a few notes during the 1st few chapters to keep up. I loved the characters and the amazing descriptions made me feel like I was there in the story. Kept me guessing until the very end.

Disappointing ending
I couldn’t wait for opportunities to leap back into this book each day but was disappointed at the a last gasp by too many unpredictable “coincidences” Still… a great read immersed in some of the best evocative language I’ve ever come across.

Intriguing and Addictive
A wonderful touching mystery with lots of unexpected twists. I found it easy to connect to the characters and to visualise the different settings. Kate Morton obviously does a significant amount of research to make her stories appear so historically possible. I loved the journey and am disappointed it is over, I wish there was more. It was beautifully read, adding to the atmosphere.

A beautiful story
Kate Morton never fails to surprise me with her mysteries layered one on top of the other. There was only one mystery that I figured out early which left me a little disappointed but in all a lovely story and a must read for any fan.

A sophisticated and beautifully written tale
I loved the writing and the complexity of this story. It is an interesting and intriguing tale that kept me chasing the ending. The characters are well written also, keeping it all believable and yet a story after all. I loved this book as I always do with Kate Morton’s books.
