Kate Morton book list - The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden, The Distant Hours
Gothic checklist- romance and horror, castles, secrets, madness, darkness
Raidergirl's good book checklist - England, sisters, back and forth in time (parallel stories), bookish mysteries
Morton created many well developed characters that I really enjoyed reading about. I liked the war story, and the present day story. The relationships between all the characters seemed real, and the secrets were tantalizingly revealed. The ultimate secrets weren't as dramatic as I was imagining, but the journey to get there was well worth my time. Excellent book for the RIP season, and to finish off the Gothic Book Challenge for me.

Need to read this one. I read The House at Riverton and did enjoy it. Now to get to Forgotten Garden and Distant Hours -- both on my TBR pile.
