Not the sane quality as The Apple Orchard
This novel lacks much of the warmth and novelty that has this author's later (I assume) works. The adult relationships are fairly standard of the romance novel plot. Half of the book is from the perspective of pre-teens, very sophomoric. Must of the characters have unhappy backgrounds. Half the teenage girls in the book are pregnant. The description also suggests there 's a mystery but it has yet to surface by half way through the book. I'm bored.

Great book but....
The story, while a little predictable, filled the need for a good cozy book. The narrator, as usual, did a great job! My only complaint was that it kept skipping. Sometimes it would skip 2 or 3 seconds and other times 30 seconds. After skipping back to try to see what was missed several times. I gave up and would just listen through.

Repetitive
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Maybe - if they didn't read the first book
Would you ever listen to anything by Susan Wiggs again?
Yes
Do you think The Winter Lodge needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. I usually love this series, but this revisited too many scenes from one of the first books of the series.
