    Lovely review Serena. I really enjoyed this novel and thought James did an excellent job with The Stanhopes. It was a fun adventure with Sam and Anthony and I hope she writes another novel so we can learn more about them.

    I think this novel was more about The Stanhopes than anything. I loved the manuscript parts way more than the present-day story. I agree that it was a bit rushed and that not enough time was devoted to developing the present-day characters.

    I do agree about the search being rushed. it seemed like it all came together too easily. But overall, I still really loved this one!
