The novel includes some interesting touches of inspirational messages and a hint of the paranormal in the way each of them senses the other. It is handled very well and woven through in a subtle way that leaves the reader feeling good. The relationship between Kat and her grandfather is a wonderful side story that made me think back fondly to my own grandfather.

This short historical novel weaves intrigue throughout the story as you try to discover the would-be killer's identity. Ms. Dartt keeps you guessing right up to the end. This novel is a quick read with an underlying sweet tone.
