Title: Not so good!
Review: This book seemed to have the elements of a good story but it just never came together. One of the basic premises of the story is that the burglar's sister, who is the embodiment of everything good, beautiful and brave (!), does not realize that she lives in a shanty in the woods yet has possessions like the stolen sable coat and never even suspects that something about these very valuable items and her brother's acquisition of them is suspicious. The supposed instant love between Geoffrey and Cecilia did not ring true at all nor did McVay's behavior induce me to believe that he would get away from punishment for his crimes. The ending was also very unsatisfactory and unbelievable. Overall, I didn't like this story and would not recommend it to anyone else.
