I'm not a Kate Morton devotée, but I did read another of her books and enjoy it a lot, so I was hopeful when I started this. Unfortunately, I found it fell short - WAY short.

Here were my issues with it:
1. I didn't really care about any of the characters. They were somewhat two-dimensional.
2. Her editor fell down on the job - this book was way too long for a relatively simple plot.
3. The plot was surprisingly guessable for being so convoluted - the whole book felt like a study in patience as I waited (and waited and waited) to have the hypothesis I formed around the 3 hour mark proved right.
