Review of The House at Riverton - Kate Morton by
pintodm
Advantages: The author cleverly teases you by insinuating that there is further revelations to come.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
Once again, the 'Richard and Judy book club' does not disappoint, with this fantastic book which continuously keeps you hooked right up until the last few pages.
With a fantastic use of flashbacks, this book is extremely well thought out. Moreover it cleverly teases the reader into feeling that with each chapter, there is greater intensity, mystery and revelations to come. Kate Morton has a fantastic way of making you want to carry on reading ...

Advantages: the ending is not given away until the end

The House At Riverton
Review of The House at Riverton - Kate Morton by
Bumbledot
Advantages: Easy to read & understand, shock twists, mystery, suspense, love.
Disadvantages: One predictable plotline, no impact on the main shock twists though.
...say I was gripped from the outset.
The plot is rich with description, taking you back to the decadent 20s with ease, and the depth of the relationship between the 3 main female characters is very compelling. As the characters develop from girlish innocence into womanhood, you are brought along with the power of a character's hindsight that touches your heart.
I won't give too much away as there are twists aplently that make this book excellent, ...
