Book Review: The House At Riverton by Kate Morton!

I recently finished The house at Riverton and it was definitely one of those books that you can't put down. I loved it and it has by far become my favourite. Would I rate it 5 stars? YES!!!!

Summer 1924
On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999
Grace Bradley, ninety-eight, one time housemaid at Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and old memories - begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge, something history has forgotten but grace never could.

Set in the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent twenties.
