Boy. Am I glad this wasn't my introduction to Lucinda Riley because I'm pretty sure I would've written her off.
The Girl on the Cliff read like a contractual obligation book and the author tried to make a dollar out of fifteen cents clawing this poor, weak plot together. The storyline is elementary to a fault, all the dots are placed thisclose together and tension is nonexistent. The main characters - Grania, Matt, Mary, Kathleen, Aurora, Alexander - were all dull stick figures that never once felt like real people. The dialogue was bad...I mean, like, really bad. And the ending (once you skim to it) was comedic and laughable at best.
I would not recommend this one to anyone, honestly, there are better ways to spend your reading time. I highly recommend The Lavender Garden for readers new to Lucinda Riley. Definitely skip this if you read above a sophomoric level.
