It's a Mad Mad World

Lorna has set her sight on to get married at Pencraw Hall, more known as Black Rabbit Hall among the locals. But, the more she spends at the place the more she feels that the place has a special meaning to her. She tries to find out more about the history of the Alton family that owns the mansion, what really happened 30 years ago when the once happy family was torn apart.

I love books with parallel storylines, especially those that involve grand houses, a mystery that has to be solved and skeleton in the closet. So, when I saw this book I just knew I had to read it. And, I wasn't disappointed. I was instantly hooked and couldn't wait out to find out more about what really happened in the 60s that could destroy a family so.

Sometimes one storyline can be weaker than the other, but this time, I found both equally interesting to read. In the 60s are Amber Alton's trials and tribulations touching to read about. She is a young girl that is desperately trying to keep her family together, but at the same time, she is on the verge of womanhood and sometimes actions can have dire consequences. Lorna, on the other hand, is moving forward in life after suddenly losing her mother, a loss that is still raw for her. And, Black Rabbit Hall has a special connection to her. She has photos of her there with her mother standing at the house. Why was her mother so eager to travel just to Black Rabbit Hall when she was little?

I liked the book very much. I was intrigued by the mystery of the Alton family and the mystery of Lorna's connection to Black Rabbit Hall. I think this book will appeal to those that like me like to read books about secrets, old mansions and the people that used to live there. It's a well-written book and I hope to read more from Eve Chase!

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through Edelweiss for an honest review!
