This was the February 2013 pick in my neighborhood book club and I enjoyed it, save for the end.

This is a gothic mystery set in equal part in past and present day Scotland. Esme Lennox was a bit of an eccentric as a young girl and her life's course will surprise you.

This is a haunting story that kept me turning the pages until the very vague and abrupt, but not completely unexpected ending. I feel the end screams there should be a sequel.

B-
