Book Reviews of Secret for a Nightingale
Book Review: The magic is still there
Summary: 4 Stars
This probably isn't my favorite Victoria Holt book, but somehow the magic is still there!There is something disturbing about the doctor in the end who goads Susanna into thinking he believes what happened to her child was her fault. That part was ok with me , but I do wish it would have been clarified later that he did not really believe this. It's kind of hard to imagine them riding off into the sunset with that between them. However it is a richly entertaining novel with many "dark" surprises. As an author, I do understand that you don't always want to use the same format for every novel and at times feel constrained by the form. So hat's off to her for doing something completely different. In a way, it has all the "modern day novel" components (drugs,crime,illicit sex) but it's set in the time of the Crimean war! How unusual!
