![]() Sparrow has been told to take some time off and stay away from the case she retreats to her grandfather’s home in Cornwall, and becomes transfixed by an older, colder case, that of the mysterious disappearance of a child that lived in the beautiful old home nearby, Loeanneth, where a baby boy vanished many years earlier. A toddler was found abandoned in her home, and Sparrow is haunted by the insistence of the child’s grandmother that her daughter would never, ever leave the child intentionally. Sadie Sparrow works for the Metropolitan Police, but her job hangs by a thread because she has become over-involved in the case of a missing woman. ![]() ![]() The book is a must-read for all that love mysteries and literary fiction. ![]() Thank you once, twice, and a third time too, because Morton has done it again. This deep, luminous story came to me from Net Galley and Atria Books, a division of Simon and Schuster. And once more, experience proves that a brilliant writer can sell any story, in the setting of her choice, with the protagonists of her choice, and she can make it flow smooth as warm butter. But The Lake House is written by the author that produced The Forgotten Garden, and so when I had the chance to grab the galley, I went for it. As a rule, I am not fond of British fiction I prefer working class protagonists to the silver-spoon variety and I like urban settings more than pastoral ones. ![]()
