Love, love, LOVE Kate Morton's descriptive phrases! Her way with words is refreshing. Love the way she slowly feeds you clues, until you are itching to find out what is next. However, in this book nearly every single character smokes either cigarettes or a pipe, and not just once in awhile, but constantly. Somehow I don't feel that was at all necessary to the story, even if it was staged during WWII when smoking was common. The book was published in 2010, and even her modern characters smoke heavily. It became a distraction from the plot to me, a former smoker. I wish she'd left those scenes out totally! D.
