Publisher Description

Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.

Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent 20s, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.

An alternate title for this novel is The House at Riverton.

"I enjoyed the many connections that could be made with the people throughout the book, and the ongoing story between present time and past time. The author wrote in such a way that I could see what the rooms, gowns, and people looked like in the early 1900's. "

    " It was kind of like reading Downton Abbey, same time period, from the musings of a 'downstairs' servant...the intertwinings of the family...over the course of many years, and like the other Kate Morton...a hidden secret, that changes things. Clean, fun characters, interesting history, time jumps back and forth. "

    " An excellent historical mystery but I found that I had already guessed most of what was happening so it wasn't very mysterious. Lovely language though, but quite tragic. "

    " I enjoy this author very much. This book however i think is my least favorite of hers. I didn't like the main characters and guessed the end. I still like Kate Morton but this one is lower on the list. "

    " I found this book boring, and not as captivating as previous book The Secret Garden which I really enjoyed. I found this book as good at The Distant Hours.. I dont want to continue and finish it. Hence one star. Very disappointed as i had read other reviews that said this book was really good. "

    " I love historical fiction so I really enjoyed the author's descriptive work in this novel. But because of that, it was a bit tedious in places. Good plot line with quite a twist at the end. "

    " This book was a page-turner, and I love the cover. However, it went on for a bit too long, had too many irrelevant details, and the ending was depressing in the extreme and implausible. "
