Fell Flat
I just could not connect to this book... part of it was subject matter (at times it felt like it was leaning towards the horror genre with ghostly elements), but the actual story pace was slow and predictable. Repetitive content encouraged me to start skimming. Character development was flat. I generally enjoy reading/listening anything Sicily, but even Sicily couldn't pull me out of this.

After 2 hours we know who she blames, that she's still mad and that's about it.

Shoddy research!
This author should have done some research on cats if she was going to include them in her novel. Tortoiseshell cats are always female. Yet she writes about a tortoise shell boy. Then she says the kittens didn’t have their eyes open at 4 weeks. Kittens open their eyes by day 10.
The repetition and reiteration of the same theme got very tedious. I doubt I’ll be interested in listening to anything else by this writer.
Kudos to the narrator, though. I’m sticking it out because of her!

OK
I got this as a free book. I go through a lot of books because I need to listen to something to help me sleep. The beginning of the story is slow. The divorced husband and wife that inherited a Villa in Sicily are hard to feel for as they are annoying. The ex wife is more annoying. The ex husband is distant. Although the wife babbles on and on about her son Daniel that died, she is so annoying that I don’t feel for her. Normally I’d feel so much emotion but I just want her to stop. The story does get better during the last half of the book if you can make it that far. I recommend only if it’s free or you purchase for $3.95 but wouldn’t waste a credit.

Nowhere near as good as In her Shadow
This is writing of the worst quality. Look at the review which goes into detail with quotations. It is spot on. I actually liked In her Shadow, largely because Emma Powell's voice is so gorgeous. Unfortunately it isn't so expressive here - perhaps because she has adapted to sound like a half-witted middle aged woman wallowing in self pity, in which case all credit to Ms Powell but the book is still a definite miss.

Very very good
This book absorbed me from start to finish. It has everything: love, grief and betrayal, murder and mystery, against an intriguing backdrop of Sicily. The island is not presented as a place of holiday bliss, but instead a realistic description of scenic beauty combined with ugly regions and old superstitions.
The story is absorbing, with strong and believable characters, and some moments of high drama and danger. There is also a strong element of the supernatural throughout the book, which gives atmosphere and some moments of horror, but ultimately peace and an acceptance of earlier tragedies, even happiness

I really loved this story and was utterly gripped. Beautiful setting and characters one could easily relate to. Douglas's characters are very real - flawed but lhighly likeable human beings who care about others and making a difference to the planet. The plot unfurls effortlessly and I was intrigued by the contrast of menace and beauty all in one place. Great plot twist at the end.

Really great read
4 star = great read, would recommend to friends, but probably wouldn't read again and again. Really good read, a great break from reality in a genre I wouldn't usually pick up. Great writing and performance, and a good balance of power and sensitivity between male and female characters, who were all interesting with believable strengths and weaknesses. The only reasons that, for me, it wasn't a 5-star read is that it finished a little too abruptly for my liking, and I wasn't bought in to the characters enough to feel any lasting affection for them (and so come back to them later).

Lost me completely at chapter 12. Cheap M&B and trashy if you are not in cheap romance do not read it

It was an intriguing plot
You just don’t know where the characters will take you. Then the warmth of their natures start to show as well as the inclusion into a society.
I didn’t think I was going to like it. Instead I loved it.

Absolutely Sparkling Read
I so enjoyed this book.The bright, artistic vernacular was riveting.
So well read with clear even prose, easy to hear.
A great story that made me feel as though I was in Scilly with them. A story of heartbreak and hope, love overcoming violence.
