Great story

A beautiful and skillfully woven story, full of both lovely and despicable characters. Very enjoyable listen

wonderful

this is a wonderful story filled with twists, turns, intrigue and heart!!! I highly recommend it!!!

Her Best to date

I'm not sure how others rated this below 4. I am a huge Kate Morton fan and I thought this book by Eve Chase was excellent. The family mystery, skeletons in the closet, a little romance, a little adultery, oh and yes a murderer, a foundling, the mental breakdown, lies, hate, love ... Life! So many twists and turns but don't get too character because beside every chapter ending with a cliff hanger, multiple storylines continue to unfold until the very end.

The Daughters of Foxcote Manor

Another solid 4 ⭐. I had slightly hard time getting into this audio recording in the beginning, but I am glad that I stuck with it. It was very enjoyable 😉. So many different threads that the author brought together. A family spending the summer in their home in the forest and all the strange things that happen to them... and their nanny. I recommend.

Touching

Love, family secrets, and the inexplicable way people come into our lives and yes, the way they sometimes exit. This story has it all. Very moving.

Interesting story with twists and turns

In the beginning, it was a little hard to follow with all the different characters involved.

But as time went on , I began to understand each of the characters and started to really enjoy this book. It dealt with many contemporary issues and how they were resolved.

I look forward to listening to more books by this author.

Intriguing story

This was an intriguing story full of surprises. I throughly enjoyed this book. This was my first from this author and will not be my last. Narrator was the perfect choice to bring the characters to life.

Slow to start, but I liked the twists

I enjoyed the twists in the story, but I’ll be honest, it took me a few tries before I was able to commit to listening to the entire story rather than coming back to it in starts and stops. I think the way the characters are entangled in each other’s stories and the dual timelines also make this an intriguing listen. Just when you think you understand one connection, some other twist throws you for another loop. Thankfully they are not too unpredictable, which makes the story entertaining while still engaging.

Too many female narratives ti follow

I feel like I missed something. Too many female characters each using “I” made it hard to follow at times. I’m still unsure if I actually followed the two timelines with these characters with changed names and dual roles.

Great read

Really enjoyed the story very well written
Loved the way the author brought it all together at the end
