The Love Letter by Lucinda Riley | Goodreads The Love Letter by Lucinda Riley | Goodreads

Although the place holds dear memories not just of her childhood but also that of her own children, Posy feels it’s time to sell the house which is falling apart around her. A blend of thriller, drama and romance involving MI5, the royal family, an acting dynasty and a young investigative reporter eager to make a name for herself, Lucinda Riley seems to have added a new dimension to her writing with the Love Letter, not entirely successfully in my honest opinion. The Love Letter by Lucinda Riley was a story of a secret so important that it had to stay out of the public eye at all costs. An historical novel that had it all, action, adventure, romance and danger.The plot meanders through the lives of numerous characters that are weaved together in varying degrees of success and interest. Unfortunately, the narrative soon becomes convoluted with extraneous side plots which left me feeling like I never quite connected to the story or characters. I strongly believe the book could have benefited with a hearty edit because it loses much of its impact due to its excessive length. The plot, that had its compelling moments, unfortunately concluded with story lines becoming more and more far-fetched, making this book fall into the 'just an okay read' pile for this reader. Nesunkiai įsivaizduoju šią knygą, virstančią filmu. Slaptosios tarnybos, grubiai glaistomos paslaptys, herojiškas pasiaukojimas - didžiąjame ekrane atrodytų neblogai 🎬 ⠀ This was the first standalone novel I’ve read by this author. Although it was not enjoyable, I plan on reading some of her other books because I’ve heard they are very good. Cecily Huntley-Morgan moved from New York City to Lake Naivasha in Kenya in 1939, thrilled to stay with her godmother and renowned socialite, Kiki Preston. Her acting career was interrupted by a long bout of mononucleosis. This caused her to turn to writing, and her first novel Lovers and Players was published in 1992. [3]

She spent the first few years of her life in the village of Drumbeg near Belfast before moving to England. At age 14 she moved to London to a specialist drama and ballet school. She wrote her first book aged twenty four. Lucinda died in June 2021. Born in Ireland in 1971, she spent the first six years of her life in a tiny village called Drumbeg, before moving to England where she started school. I've been wanting to read Lucinda Riley for a while now after seeing my blogger friends praise her Seven Sisters series, and I am so glad that I took the plunge. Lucinda is magician with words! The mystery was predictable but unpredictable at same time, nothing was sure and I love it for that.
