- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was slow going for me at the beginning and I actually considered bailing after the first 50 pages when I was spinning with the many different characters and the bouncing around timeline. I am SO glad I stuck with it because I really ended up digging this story. Not at all what I expected- actually turned out to be better than I had hoped. I’d like to read more from this author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In 1995 a young girl went missing without a trace. Years later her best friend from childhood teams up with her brother in an effort to solve the mystery. Combining the AIDS crisis with science and mysticism, answers can be found. This was a quick read, as I read it in one day. It was a wonderful summer read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although this is being called a mystery, it crossed many different genres. Ghosts story, Irish folklore, Superstition, literary. , and although at itsheart it is about the repercussions of a missing girl, it is not at all graphic. It is a slower, quitter read, one where readers get to know the lead characters very well.Adair, in her late twenties, comes home to Moye House in Culleton, NY, due to health and financial reasons. The house where her Uncle Michan raised her after the death of her parents. It is also where her only friend and distant cousin Rowan, went missing 15 years before.The house now turned writers colony, is where she will make the aquaintance of Rowan's half brother from Ireland. Charan, is writing a book of unexplained disappearances, among them Rowan's.The novel goes back and forward, showing us the legend of the Rowan tree and the origin of Quicken days. It takes us briefly to the 1800s and the secret, now known that the family line harbors. It mostly though, covers the time when Rowan and Adair become friends and the present.It is done well, the prose is excellent and I recommend it to people who like a more literary slant in their novels.
