Hi Katherine. I just discovered your books through a recommendation from Amazon.co.uk (I live in the States) and devoured the first title I received, 'The Unseen'. My question is: Has anyone ever compared your books to those of the Australian author, Kate Morton? I love her books too and find the two of you very similar.

Hello Elaine, thanks for your message. I'm really pleased to hear you're reading The Unseen! I hope you enjoy it. I don't know whether people compare me to Kate Morton, exactly, but we do seem to have some of the same readership. I read her book 'The House at Riverton' a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Perhaps 'The Unseen' is the book of mine with the most in common to it in terms of era and setting - the big Edwardian country house, and the modern-day characters resolving a mystery from that time. I haven't read any other of Ms Morton's books, but mine do vary a lot in time and place - I hope you'll give some of them a go.
Happy reading!
Best wishes,

Dear Katherine, I would like to learn about one phrase from "The Unseen", in the very beginning of the book: "It had been a blousy summer day; all diaphanous clouds, with a curling breeze that had caught the donkeys' tails, made them stream out behind them, and made the empty deckchairs billow." THE DONKEYS' TAILS – what does it mean, and what do they here?? I am not an English-speaker. Thank you so much in advance!
