If you enjoy watching shows like Downton Abbey or like a bit of mystery in the books you read, then I recommend that you pick this one up – especially if you also want to learn a little of the hidden history of Australia during the war. It was a fantastic read that’ll have you making your assumptions about the mystery of the Foxes and the Woods, and enjoying the ride through Family Ancestry that might also convince you to look into your own.

A wonderful first novel. And I hope Julian Leatherdale continues with a career as an author as he does know how to spin a tale and how to finish it off.
