"Morton is masterful at controlling a story's flow and tension. Readers will not suspect the twist at the end." -- Publisher's Weekly (The Secret Keeper), "Morton has obvious star power. . . . Her novels are Australia's most successful exports since Colleen McCullough's "Thorn Birds" stormed the world in 1977." -- The New York Times Book Review (The Secret Keeper), "As always, Morton weaves an intriguing mystery, shifting between past and present and among fully realized characters harboring deep secrets."-- People Magazine **** (The Secret Keeper), "Morton has obvious star power. . . .

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Book arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.

    Yes, but.....

    This was a great story with good characterizations. Lots of twists and turns and mysteries. BUT the book drags on and on, for example taking two pages to describe someone sitting at a table drinking tea or such. It bordered on tedious and I found myself just scanning pages for signs of some progress in an attempt to move it ahead. Wish there were a category such as "somewhat" instead of just yes or no.....

    excellent read

    The ending of this book was so good I had to read it twice. All the Kate Morton books were good but this was the best. Definitely recommend

    Good book about people and their choices.

    This book was entertaining to read, and had enough twists and turns to keep it interesting.

    The keeper

    Loved this book. Ordered this copy for my aunt. The end was so unexpected, I am rereading to see if there are any clues. I don’t know anyone who wasn’t surprised or who didn’t like the book.
