Looking for books similar to Kate Morton books

[Susie]

I loved House on Riverton and The Forgotten Garden.

 

Can anyone recommend an author who writes similar stories/books?

 

I cant wait until Mortons' next book comes out in November.

 

I should have said The House at Riverton.

 

Dont see a place to edit.

I recently read "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, not quite Kate Morton but I was impressed by it. You could also try "The Villa In Italy" by Elizabeth Edmondson.

I haven't read them myself, but I gather that Imogen Parker's 'Palace Hotel' Trilogy (this is the first) are similar.

I think "Atonement" by Ian McEwen was so similar to "The House at Riverton" that it was quite spooky.

I second the recommendation of 'The Thirteenth Tale' by Setterfield, Susie. I loved that one! Spooky, and such a great story .

 

I haven't read any Morton yet, but I have House at Riverton on my TBR shelf.

I've not read any Kate Morton, but I wondered if something like this book, 'A Lifetime Burning' by Linda Gillard might appeal to you?

 

Linda is a fantastic writer, one I recommend to anyone who will listen. She has written two other books, 'Emotional Geology', and 'Star Gazing' that I can also wholeheartedly recommend.

Thanks Chrissy, Linda Gillard looks right up my street, another book for my Amazon wish list, thankfully I have a birthday next month!

Her writing is just so good! I should add that no one gives us a 'hero' like Linda, prepare to sigh, cry and laugh.

 

I am usually drawn to gritty crime, but my head was turned by these three. Chick lit she ain't. She also happens to be a member of the forum.

That book sounds great, Chrissy.

 

Suzie, a patient at work was reading Kate Moreton and said that if I liked her I would also like Diana Gabaldon, so maybe that is a suggestion.
