The House at Riverton

I really enjoyed the last 150 pages of this book. But prior to that I couldn't see that there was much mystery, and it just seemed to ramble on a bit. I did still enjoy it as a novel with a very interesting historical and social context. I felt that I could definitely tell it was Kate Marton's first book because her other mysteries get going much more quickly. In the end I would still recommend it. I do wish I had read her acknowledgements and commentary at the back of the book before reading the actual novel, so that I could better appreciate what she was trying to do.
