Summary: Does Justice to the Dennehy series -- but not the best
Review: This is another enjoyable read from Jo Goodman. If you liked her other books about the Dennehy sisters, you will surely enjoy this read, as well. However, Skye is probably the least likable of the 5 sisters (as she is slightly spoiled and self-centered) and this story may be the most difficult to follow. Unlike the others, this one does not take place in the West. Instead, it happens in an old mansion in New England, where Skye's father has sent her to do some harmless research/investigating to satiate her adventurous spirit. Instead, she finds real danger and a dangerous, enigmatic hero to boot. The mystery moves at a quick pace and once the reader figures out what's going on, the book becomes much better. In the end, this Dennehy sister -- like the others -- finds the man of her heart and spirit. (The next and final book in the series -- about the former nun, Mary -- may be the best.)

Summary: A great series and a heartwrenching book
Review: This series really got me hooked on Jo Goodman. Although I have to admit I don't like everything she publishes, it's nice to find a writer who seems to have a range of writing styles. This fourth book was heart felt and truly made you root for the characters who struggle through some difficult emotional hurdles.
