This book started out a little confusing with four different stories that changed decades with each chapter. But by the middle of the book it all started to make sense of who was who and why they were where they were in these different times. It had a lot of twists to the plot and an ending that made you think "why didn't I see that coming?". But it had a little of everything, death, ghosts, blackmail, murder and even a few love stories.
