Enjoying this quite a bit so far. Would make a great read-aloud, and a good way to introduce kids to interest in family history. Who wouldn't like a good treasure hunt in old houses?

Too much walking, rehashing conversations, etc. So much potential, but so boring...

Kind of slow and boring so far.

Ah, it's refreshing to read well-researched historical fiction for a change. Loving LaFevers' superior writing!

Collins exploring whether the sin of the father becomes the inheritance of the son. Who doesn’t love a bit of melodrama? “I am breathing the same air and living under the same roof with the son of the man whom my father killed.” Strong portentous foreshadowing! Not to mention the theme of fate and Destiny, sure to see more in the pages to come.

Reminding me of the thriller genre (hello, Wilkie Collins!), but so far the characters feel stilted. Maybe a side-effect of Amy's narration?
