Book Review: "The Manor House" By Gilly Macmillan

 



Love is blind and what better way to prove that point than to find your childhood sweetheart dead in a pool.

Winning the lottery isn't what it's cracked up to be anymore. The people that come out of the woodwork are odd and sometimes they seek more than you bargained for or ever wanted to give.

I realize the Manor House is meant to feel slightly out of place and for that the author does a great job in conveying those bizarre characters whom we can't quite make out from that location.

Bribery and money always go hand in hand like a bird and a feather so expect much the same involvement as money is always at the root.

As for the rest of the story I can only say the journal didn't help, the connections to the true lady aren't really appetizing, and the septic tank is one place nobody would want to go.

The ending here left some things to be desired and I felt as though being played wasn't the ultimate way to go.

The prior 5 yrs with the housekeeper , sauna, and ultimately the meat and bones was quite good. 

All in all I was between a 3-4 on this one but settled for three as I didn't have that spark I had hoped in the end .
