A review by silverhill
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

dark emotional mysterious sad slow-paced

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.75

My least favorite of the five Kate Morton books I’ve read so far. I think because I didn’t like any of the characters. And it’s a pretty bleak story.
