The last of Mary Stewart's beloved romantic mystery novels, Rose Cottage bears all the romance and intrigue she is known for.
Summer, 1947. Kate Herrick, a war widow, returns to her childhood home for a final visit before the house is sold. But Rose Cottage is not the idyllic paradise she remembers from her youth and someone has been there before her. As Kate uncovers an old secret that haunts the home she thought she knew, she is forced to confront a dark truth from her own past....
Beyond the weedy garden with its riot of rose bushes, nothing had changed. And someone was crossing the bridge to approach the garden gate. Someone I knew well....

Critic reviews
"A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors." (Harriet Evans)

It was lovely, a sweet story with a bit of mystery thrown in. It is one of those books that if you have the right narration, and Jilly Bond was just that, it will wash over you with a gentle warmth. It is not fast paced or shocking, just a good story told well.
I remember seeing this on the shelf

Excellent Narrator

The narrator: there is a fine line between bringing characters to life yet still narrating the story so it can be understood. While much of Ms. Bond’s narration is fine, I found some of her characters’ accents very difficult to understand. That gets in the way of truly enjoying the story. I will need to get a copy of the book to read what the narrator mucked up.
Good story, so-so narrator

Cute mystery

Or I think that’s what it was supposed to be. Anyways. I’d have liked it better with less “voices,” as it took away from my enjoyment of the story.
Love the book but not a huge fan of the narrator.

Lovely story, but ...

It seems to me that the current trend in audiobooks is to emphasize “voices” rather than simply doing a well read story. It is totally possible to read a well-written story and impart drama, suspense, humor, and the feel of different characters without the difficult extremes of volume and the fake sound of vocal imitations.
Good story; painful narration
