A short synopsis: A man starting a b&b in a European castle brings his cousin over to help, but their shared past may be a motivation... meanwhile an English teacher with a past of her own teaches a prison writing class and feels connected to one of the prisoners.
My view: LOVED THIS!! It was totally unexpected. Three different points of view, two stories with a parallel, romance & mystery, and it all ties together in the end... but I'm not telling how... Even with all that going on, it was an extremely fast and easy read, and very enjoyable overall. In short, it was good quality literature that didn't hurt.

I was not at all impressed with this book. It was confusing and the story never "went" anywhere. It could have been a great mystery/ghost story/revenge novel but it fell way short. Definitely did not live up to the hype I've been hearing about it.

Disappointing...

Ugh! Not written well, very dull, and really who cares?

Did anyone here read the same book I did???? I thought it was brilliant! Kept me in suspense right until the last page! Sure, the structure of the final third is a little unconventional... but it was certainly gripping... I loved it!
