Excellent

I love this author. This book was different from her usual. But I loved the modern story. I love how she once again delved into unknown or lesser known pieces of history. She clearly does so much research to bring these stories to life. The love story was both painful and sweet.

One of Camden's Best Novels

Having now read every novel by E. Camden, I can say I've loved every one of them. I was skeptical of a book with a modern day setting, but Camden managed to weave a slice of American history into current events. The characters were complex and the warring events made me think there could be no satisfactory conclusion. it was a page turner to the end.

Captivating Story

Loved this story that came to such an unexpected conclusion. The narrator 's performance was a bit too slow for me. Susie rom an altogether different Grove

Creative and fresh story

Summerlin Grove was an intriguing story from the first words. While captivating, the story was developed at a steady pace allowing time for character development and unexpected turns in the narrative. There were questions to be answered as well as clues without resolution, but the mystery and suspense never became overbearing nor did it obscure the other aspects of the story as it was developed. The story was rich and full, never plodding or boring. A study in life with all its snags and blessings, failures and victories. I can wholeheartedly recommend this Elizabeth Camden novel as highly as all her others, however, I see a real maturity in this book that signifies the pinnacle of her talent.

Summerlin Grove/A Modern Day Mystery

Elizabeth Camden is a talented author. I have enjoyed a couple of her historical fiction novels, so I thought that I would try a modern day novel by her. I am sorry to say that I did not enjoy the book. The story was too dark and depressing for me. It could be that I am just sensitive right now, since my husband passed away last month. Maybe I am not a very good person to give a review at this time.
