pickDorothy Whipple is always an enjoyable read and this one was no exception. As the afterword states, it‘s a “comforting middle-class drama” but I also found it quite suspenseful due to the titular villain, Mr. Knight. It had the feel of a 1930s Rosamunde Pilcher, if that makes sense? 😆

rubyslippersreads, quietjenn, Caryl, sisilia, CarolynM, daena, LeahBergen, elkeOriginal, Gissy, Aimeesue, Tamra, andrew61, Cathythoughts, Bookbuyingaddict, julieclair, willafulCarolynM I‘m finding it a bit hard to get into. Probably more about me than the book. 2d
Cathythoughts I did really love it, and got totally caught up in the story. This would be a reread for me. But I confess to watching the film and then slacking off on the reread … I‘m dipping in and out ❤️ and Yes , definitely suspenseful due to Mr Knight ! (edited) 2d
andrew61 I enjoyed it as well, leah. The characters are all well drawn including the villainous mr knight. You can't go wrong with dorothy. 2d

daena I‘m moving slow, because life. But enjoying it nonetheless. Very intrigued by Mr.Knight, and even more so now by his villany! 2d
Tamra I‘m still in the middle and enjoying it. She fleshes out her characters well and there is a bit of a snarky undertone I appreciate. It isn‘t an entirely a cozy domestic novel. 2d
rubyslippersreads I‘m behind, as usual. 😏 2d

LeahBergen @andrew61 Yes! Her characters really are so well-drawn. 1d
LeahBergen @daena My life‘s been a bit intrusive into my reading time lately, too. 😆 1d
LeahBergen @Tamra It‘s a tad cozy in setting but I felt dread from the beginning. 😆 1d
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads 😆 Oh, well! 1d
quietjenn I'm with @rubyslippersreads and @daena and have quit a bit left to go! 1d
LeahBergen @quietjenn It‘s a bit of a Persephone chunkster! 11h
Aimeesue Still working my way through this one. I do love Whipple, but I‘m stuck in the cloister with the reluctant nun! Both are gripping me at different times! 7h
