This is a weekly event that highlights a book we can't wait to be published. It is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Kate Morton is an author that many have loved. I have meant to read all of her books, but I've actually only read one, The Distant Hours. I enjoyed it very much. I've also heard that Caroline Lee narrates this author's writings, the same person that narrates Big Little Lies and The Husband's Secret, both by Liane Moriarty. I loved both of those and loved the narration. Kate Morton will have a new book published this fall and it is my selection for this week:
by Kate Morton
Publication Date: October 13th
One midsummer’s eve, after a beautiful party drawing hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes discover that their youngest son, Theo, has vanished without a trace. What follows is a tragedy that tears the family apart in ways they never imagined, leaving their estate as empty as their broken hearts.
Nearly sixty years later, having enjoyed a long, successful career as an author, Alice is now eighty years old and living in London. Theo’s case has never been solved, though Alice still harbors a suspicion as to the culprit. Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in the London police force, is staying at her grandfather’s house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles upon the old estate—now crumbling and covered with vines, clearly abandoned long ago. Her curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of events that will bring her and Alice together and reveal shocking truths about a past long gone...yet more present than ever.
Wow past and present merge into one... interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteWaiting on Wednesday
And thank you for always being so sweet to comment here.
DeleteThis is on my list! I don't think I've read anything by Morton although I've heard great things.
ReplyDeleteOh, you'd definitely like them. Or I think you'd like the one I've read. It kind of reminded me of The Thirteenth Tale. Did you ever read that one?
DeleteI tried one of Morton's, but couldnt get into it. Maybe audio is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Or maybe it's just wasn't the right time. :-)
DeleteI've enjoyed The House at Riverton and The Forgotten Garden by Morton. I'll be sure to give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteI want to read the other books. I've only read The Distant Hours, but I liked it a lot.
DeleteOoh, I didn't know she had a new book coming out!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing for me to be telling you about a book coming out. LOL
DeleteI didn't know she had another book coming! The Forgotten Garden was wonderful on audio and I recently purchased The House at Riverton as a kindle daily deal.
ReplyDeleteI read The Distant Hours in print. I want to try some of the other on audio. I love that narrator.
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author, but I have always loved the cover of Big Little Lies. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WOW
Thanks for coming by, Lisa. Yes, I liked the cover of Big Little Lies too.
DeleteOoh, this one sounds wonderful! Mysterious and haunting...I do love stories that take us over the years, with characters still pondering events.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this author yet, but I keep planning to do so. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
Laurel, I think you would like Kate Morton's books. Really.
DeleteSounds like it could be really good. Heart wrenching in places, but a good mystery. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I suspect so. Laura. The Distant Hours, the only one I've read of her books, was like that.
DeleteThat sounds really good. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful. Thanks for coming by, Jill.
DeleteI didn't know she had a new book coming out! I loved Forgotten Garden and keep meaning to read more of her books. Now this will be going on my list as well!
ReplyDeleteI want to read her other books soon. I may try to listen to them.
DeleteI read The Forgotten Garden, which I enjoyed immensely. Keep meaning to go back and read one of her other books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my WoW.
Am hearing a lot of good things about The Forgotten Garden. Maybe I should start with that one.
DeleteI never read anything by this author. This sounds like an excellent book.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one of her books up to now, Yvonne. This new one does sound interesting doesn't it?
DeleteKay hope you didn't get washed away with all the rain we've been having! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely going on my TBR list. I've only read one of Kate Morton's books but loved it and I actually have a few others. I just have a feeling I'll enjoy all of her books.
Iliana, no we didn't wash away but I couldn't believe how long and how hard it rained last night. This has definitely been a rainy winter/spring. Did you guys wash away?
DeleteI've had Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden in my TBR for a while. The Lake House looks good too.
ReplyDeleteSeems like many have read The Forgotten Garden. I need to get to that one too.
