Seemingly straight forward but uncovering secrets by the score. One lead to another and Alex's world was turned upside down. What was a normal occupation - manageress of a country home and expanding the business, being the adopted daughter of a very nice set of middle class parents and then you sort of ending up having royalty ancestry, lots of money and a very complicated background.
It was a bit difficult for me to follow the various strands of the story as it was very involved but they all came together very well. The mystery and the ancestry was one section, the romance was another and they blended well.
The setting of the old English manor, the bits of history adding to the interest in the story were good and kept me going throughout the book.

I seem to only have time to read in short snatches these days so a book that's difficult to follow probably isn't the best choice for me.
ReplyDeleteReally like the sound of this one so will put it in my wish list. When a book is difficult to keep up with I make jottings until I have it sorted for myself then I stop and just read!
ReplyDeleteGlad it all came together in a satisfactory way!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how many books you manage to read. I know I spend too much time playing games, scrabble on my phone these day. I love the brief, concise reviews you write - so well done; thanks and have a great week.
