Honestly, even if I hadn't loved this story, I'd have likely wanted to buy a copy for the gorgeous cover. From the beginning scenes with the children's father having his accident to the lush descriptions of the apple orchard and the Cornwall scenes, the storytelling is well done and atmospheric. It was a trifle slow getting started but as soon as they reached Cornwall, I'm sure the characters longed for quiet! A solid mystery is behind strange things from Delia's past and there are smugglers along the shore. Why did she break completely with her family? Why did her late husband's mother hate her so bitterly?
I'll definitely be reading the next in the series.
Thanks to the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required. My review is based off a final paperback copy.
