The book starts off slow. Too slow at times for my preference but nevertheless, I enjoyed this book. I even shed few tears towards the end of the book.

The Judge's Daughter tells the story of Helen Spencer, the daughter of Judge Zachary Spencer, whose life intertwined with Agnes Makepeace. There's Helen's story and there's Agnes' story. And there's the judge. Mean, power hungry, dictating, the judge is feared and despised by all the people he met, most of all his daughter. The judges has secrets. Secrets that could alter the lives of some people. And secrets that, in the end resulted in his own death.

There are some fascinating characters as well. There's Pop/Fred Grimshaw, Agnes' lively grandfather; Lucy and Mags, Agnes' best friends and few others.

I'd say that The Judge's Daughter is not my usual fare but I certainly found the book to be interesting.
