A Dangerous Inheritance

This story showed great promise -- good characters, an interesting historical plot -- but ultimately suffered from being too long, too wordy and, at times, too confusing. The 2 main characters both had the same name (Kate and Katherine), and the plot jumps from the story of one to the story of the other, 100 years apart, making it difficult to keep each "K" straight. The first 150 pages were a huge drag, full of endless description and lacking in action. The plot picked up a bit after that, but it was ultimately a long, dreary read that I couldn't wait to finish. Not recommended. Note: This review was based upon an Advance Uncorrected Proof.
