The plot of the book is reasonable and I enjoyed the key character, Torie, but the character of Torie's grandmother is but a pale shadow of what she could be. The writing is choppy. poor, and story development inconsistent. Just when I thought it was flowing along I was halted with a "What's this?" So many cliches and errors in the story. One example: a woman who is to be interviewed opens the door with a shawl over her shoulders. In the next paragraph she holds an afghan around her. As the protagonist investigates almost everyone in the book has a reason to murder the 101-year-old woman from her children to her servants to the local sheriff. I won't waste any more time writing about this one and instead suggest that anyone thinking about reading it choose another.
