Anne Dover has yet another marvellous performance. I found the start to be a little hard to believe. But once the story unfolded I was hooked. I was really sorry when it had finished. I hope there isn't too long to wait for a 3rd book as I want to know what happens with all the characters.

Another heartwarming novel from Katie Flynn. But I feel this novel isn’t over? Another episode please! You can’t leave it there.
And I have to say Anne Dover narrated this book to perfection yet again! The only lady who knows how! Thank you.
