Caro, husband Alisdair and baby move to his family home, Kelly castle in Scotland. A storm uncovers a secret in the garden. Caro wants to investigate to see find out what happened in the past. The discovery leads to family secrets. In another timeline the story follows Oliver and his two friends Louisa and Charlotte.
I really enjoyed this story. I like a dual timeline story that goes back and forth from the present to the past. The present follows mainly Caro as she investigates the family history. It has a side story of her relationship with her mother in law Martha.
The main story is the past and it follows Oliver, Louisa and Charlotte. This for me was my favourite part of the story. A third part of the story follows Oliver on a whaling ship in the Antarctic. This was my least favourite part of the story but is crucial to the whole plot.
I really enjoyed this book. There was enough to keep my interest and I wanted to know the why and who. I especially enjoyed the book towards the end as everything was explained but did feel that some of the story was wrapped up with a neat little bow.
I haven't read anything by this author before but read more in the future.
Thank you to the publisher via Readers First for the book to review.
