Summary
Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.
Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.
Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent 20s, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.
An alternate title for this novel is The House at Riverton.

Not the best
Totally love Kate Morton, but this really isn't her best. Sorry, wanted to love it but it fell very short.

Slow in places
Not quite sure about this one. I enjoyed it but had it not been for a reasonably satisfactory ending I would have only given it 3 stars. It was very slow in places and I didn't quite see the the need for so much of the present time. The whole story was about a previous era. I could have done with much smaller amounts of the present day. All in all an ok listen but couldn't heartily recommend it

Good listen
Not Kate's best work but still good and a good twist at the end but I was wondering for ages where it was all actually going.

As always a wonderful story
I really enjoyed this story. It has great characters especially Grace. It is read by an Australian narrator who does a pretty good job. I do think it needs someone British as her accents are not too good. The housemaids from Essex and the Cockneys were way off. This book is called Riverton house for the British audience but I couldn’t find it on Audible. It really is a good listen just the narrator is a bit grating.

Author is a literary artisan
Marvellous, well written story. Loved every minute of it. Every detail is is covered. The author provides you with the perfect nutrition to feed the imagination. Her historical knowledge and research is once again evident in her writing. It was also beautifully read making it so magical to listen to.

Wonderful story.
I had read this book some years ago and hoped that the audio versions would bring the characters to life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the very poor accents that the reader tried to perform let the characters down. Only the young upper class girl voices were suitably matched.
However, the story line is very well written.
