Elizabeth Camden has ventured into writing a contemporary novel and it is spectacular!
She has included a bit of history and the fascination with Faberge eggs in this intriguing story. With flowing prose we are taken to an orange grove in small town Florida where Jenny Summerlin discovers a skeleton in an old hollow Cypress tree. It only gets more mysterious and interesting from there. It has murder, cold war politics and romance doused and then rekindled, not to mention family clashes. All against the backdrop of running an orange grove and its hardships with the weather.
This story had me eager to turn pages and sorry to put it down. The characters were complex and realistic and the situations were completely believable.
An utterly captivating book.
