Ratings and reviews

Found beginning difficult to read but kept going and it did get easier. Author used too many descriptive words when one or two would have been acceptable. However, ok story just too drawn out.

Yes I liked the book. Found it slow at the beginning. Stuck with it though and enjoyed it especially the descriptions of Cornwall. Haven't read Judy's first book yet but probably will do now.

I am quite a fussy reader this book was brilliant had me turning the pages couldn't put it down brilliant from start to finish would recommend it to all :D
