The Shifting Fog [also published under the alternate title The House at Riverton]

By: Kate Morton

Narrated by: Caroline Lee

Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.

Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent 20s, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.

An alternate title for this novel is The House at Riverton.

Alternate title for "The House at Riverton"

Where does The Shifting Fog rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Unfortunately hadn't realized "The Shifting Fog" is the same / alternate title for "The House at Riverton." Great book / wonderful narration but wish Audible had indicated that I had already purchased the same book under an alternate title.

not my favorite from this author

I felt this book was a little anticlimactic compared to some of her other books. not my favorite one.

British gentry novel with descriptive writing

The story was a bit low key. Most of the characters weren’t like able and I couldn’t wait til the end arrived. There was a twist which was nice.

I ❤️ Kate Morton!

I guess you could figure out the ending up front...but its the journey getting to the end that is pure enjoyment!

Plotline

Great description -I Felt so close to the characters - I wanted to learn what happened to them.
