Evaluate Epithetical Books The Shadow Hour

I loved The Girl in the Photograph so I was really looking forward to reading this latest book. I thought this was a wonderful book, Kate Riordan has a style of writing that is a pleasure to read, descriptive but not boring, and with jumps backwards and forwards between two time periods which I enjoy. The sort of book that captures you instantly and lets you get lost in its pages, perfect for curling up with on those miserable cold days.The shadow Hour is an excellent novel from this very

Kate Riordan's first novel, "The Girl in the Photograph", was one of the most atmospheric reads of last year. It contained everything we have come to associate worth the good, old British Gothic Fiction. An old mansion, dual time narration, a governess that finds herself in front of dark family secrets and a touch of the Creepy and, possibly, the Paranormal.

The shadow hour by Kate Riordon. Two generations of women, and one house that holds the terrible secrets of their pasts 1922. Grace has been sent to the stately and crumbling Fenix House to follow in her grandmother's footsteps as a governess.

I really enjoyed this historical drama which is told in two timelines with Fenix House near Cheltenham at its centre. In 1922 Grace joins the household as Governess to Lukas, the son of David Pemberton.

The read unfolds from both perspectives to reveal a story of fated romances, drama, intrigue

The year is 1922 and Grace has been hired to be a little boy's governess in the crumbling Fenix House. She is following in her grandmother's footsteps who was governess there years ago. Grace has heard stories since she was little about the house, but she realized when she arrives at Fenix House that her grandmother's stories perhaps not are all true. Why did her grandmother that she should work at the house and what really happened all the years ago when her grandmother worked a summer at Fenix

A wonderfully atmospheric, split time span story. Lots of well paced, cleverly woven intrigue and full bodied characterisation creates a well rounded, satisfying read. Reminded me very much of Kate Moreton' s style of writing. Would highly recommend.
