As the page was
turned and the last line read, Susan experienced an unexpected sinking in her
heart. Of course, this is how it has to
end. She nodded, closing the book
cover.
Susan had thumbed
back nearly 70 pages as the end loomed.
All her conclusions and interpreted clues cried out against the
inevitable. But, no. The author had pulled subtle threads, snipped
here and there, and the last pages surprised her.
That so seldom happens to me. Ahhh…. Susan smiled in pleasure. Thank
you, Kate Morton.
Drat you Susan. My unread pile is far too long already.

DeleteSusan, An inviting review of another secret garden.
