I’m no stranger to Ellen Read’s books. I was captivated by the Thornton murder mysteries set in the late 1920s Australia followed by a couple of stand alone ghostly mysteries and love stories. I have enjoyed all my journeys into this author’s imagination.
Dani is owner and chef of a very successful cafe when she receives a call from a solicitor informing her of a sizable inheritance consisting of a boarding house in Charter Towers, everything in it and an substantial amount of money to boot. When she goes to see her inheritance, the first person she sees is a past love… this is going to be awkward.
Read gives us a quick rundown on all of the characters, including the ghosts and I’m giving all of them a once over. All are multilayered and have secrets. The story flows smoothly as it flips between 1872 and the present; giving the story added depth. The exchanges between Dani and Eloise are ingenious and adds an unearthly feel to the story. This mix of past and present takes surprising turns, keeping me turning the pages.
On top of all this, the book is gorgeous inside and out. Each chapter is headed with a floral drawing by the author. Be sure to read the Author’s Note and skim the Aussie Dictionary”. The ending? Pure genius.
