Reseñas de la Crítica

"Enticing and atmospheric! Burton really knows how to pull those emotional heart strings. The Secrets of Summer House is packed with love and mystery that will keep you wanting more." (Lauren North, author of Safe at Home)

Great Story

Great story. Heartfelt. No fowl language. Good listening for anyone. Great narrator. Very enjoyable. Thank you!

A lovely and emotional story

When I considered listening to this novel I read a review that said this writing seemed undeveloped or formulaic, I couldn’t disagree more, the story was well developed and I felt the mystery was kept hidden almost to the end where it then took on a sweet and emotional feel. Unlike one of her other stories that I could guess the mystery from almost the beginning.
This story kept my attention all the way through and the narrator was excellent. She surprised me with her ability to perform many different accents and she kept the excitement and mystery going. Highly recommend!

Poignant family mystery

Love this reader!! Good mystery with strong characters. Multi generational story with secrets, disappearances, and intrigue.

Cute story but nothing happens.

This was a cute story. I kept waiting for something to happen but it never did. It felt a bit like it was written using the formula taught in college creative writing classes. Yes, it was a bit slow. No, nothing exciting or shocking ever happens. But I still enjoyed listening to the story - helped along by Imogen Church - and felt it’s worth a credit for a light and easy “read.”
