This style of writing and genre is not for me. I did not enjoy reading it but absolutely understand that there is a large group of people who would really enjoy this. Unfortunately it was not for me and I prefer not posting a review for this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for providing a digital copy in return for a review.

This book finds Harry involved in a car accident narrowly missing herself and watching as Barbara Leader winds up dead. Harry has trouble buying the explanation of the death. Then the book goes back to the 17 hundreds which shows the story of a family who are helping a couple escape from a family after a brutal murder of the husband of the household. This book goes back and forth as we learn what happened way back when and what is currently going on!

I really enjoyed this story it was fun to go back in time and be caught up in the present as well. It was definitely a worthwhile adventure to go on! I especially loved when the animals added their opinions it was too cute!

Past doesn't die, it simply transforms itself, and finds a way to get its long fingers to the present , usually leaving behind a trace of blood. Thus the murder of a super-specialized nurse who takes care of an old governor at his place, an attempt at theft at a computer company and other unpleasant events have roots deeply planted in the tomb of a slave owner planter apparently killed by a slave of wich he raped the sweetheart. As the narrative alternates between past and present, it exposes the facts of the past and the consequences in the present, all punctuated by the considerations of the many animals that dotted the history and that, in the past as in the present, are decisive for the development of the facts.
A fun book, even if the historical part is better and, in my opinion, better written than the one set in the present, not to mention that sometimes the squabbles among animals are a bit boring.
I thank Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy in return for an honest review.
