Another page turner! A great conclusion to the trilogy with all three of the heirs found to Jane Chapmans houses. Even Deemer got some loose ends tied up with the hope of now having a peaceful neighbourhood.

I would love to see how the three occupants lives paned out and even how the Tillets get one. I have throughly enjoyed the cross over of characters and its really made me feel I know the characters.

A fitting end to a lovely series of books ,I thoroughly enjoyed all three books. Part way through this book though I felt the story was dragging on too slow with the same storyline and wasn’t moving on as quick as I wanted it to . Maybe that was just my impatience wanting to know what was going to happen .

A pleasant read with good character development and interesting storyline. I probably won't read more of Anna Jacobs though after this series purely because I believe the writing is rather simple and amateurish. But these are wholesome stories and good for a weekend away or holiday.

Sweetly engrossing

I have so enjoyed reading all three of these books. The tales of life, love, poverty and riches so well researched made the characters come alive. Good triumphed over evil and love conquered all. Great series, thank you Anna

Great end to the series, I really loved Arthur and Gwyneth as a couple. I also loved the way they pulled together to look after BT. Fantastic series, I’ve really enjoyed reading about the rest of the towns in the valley. Just got the rivemshaw series to finish now in this saga.

A Good Story, but

A very interesting story but too much of a carbon copy of the first two books in this series, we could guess the outcome and who was going to get married and who would die of a seizure.

Audiobook. Great narrator. This was the final book in the Backshaw Moss series and I was truly sad when it ended. I enjoyed the characters and setting. It's a feel-good, everybody's happy in the end except the bad guy type of story.
