Summary

 Pure escapism on every page, The Distant Shores tells the story of a family torn apart, and the woman who will bring them back together.

Margot Hart travels to Ireland to write a biography of the famous Deverill family. She knows she must speak to the current Lord Deverill – JP – if she is to uncover the secrets of the past. A notorious recluse, JP won’t be an easy man to crack. But Margot is determined – and she is not a woman who is easily put off.

What she never expected was to form a close bond with JP and be drawn into his family disputes. Shouldering the blame for running up debts that forced him to sell the family castle, JP is isolated and vulnerable. With help from his handsome son Colm, it seems as though Margot might be the only one who can restore JP’s fortunes.

Will the family ever succeed in healing rifts that have been centuries in the making?

Having read the first three Castle Deverill books, I hoped this would be the same, yes it carries the story on but it did not have the same feeling as the previous novels. Not sure if it needed the fourth book, but you’ll have to make up your own mind. Lots of time spent with the spirit world which helped span many generations, quite a clever trick to get the back story reminders.

I struggled to adjust to the change of narrator especially after listening to all the other stories back to back, it was a bit like a whole new change of characters. However once I got into it and got used to the change of narrator it was another great story with more added twists to the devil story.
The story is a reminder as to what is really important in life.

Another great twist to the Deveral story

Although the reader was very versatile, and did a great job of animating the voices, as a Native, I found the Irish accents very poor. I loved the saga, especially the first and second books, I didn’t mind the spiritual asides, but I found as the series went along, that the Author spent less time writing about new events, recapped the story, far more than was necessary, and preached too much and too repetitively about the same philosophies. From the same perspectives, even if it was occasionally from a different characters viewpoint. I have read many of the authors novels and have been very impressed with most of them, so I will continue to read her books, although I did feel as if the last book especially did not live up to her usual standard.

I enjoyed the whole series, but the style was quite different by the end.
