About this listen

Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again.

Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could.

Set as the war-shattered Edwardian summer surrenders to the decadent 20s, The Shifting Fog is a thrilling mystery and a compelling love story.

An alternate title for this novel is The House at Riverton.

Narration by Caroline Lee, wonderful as always, brings each character to life. Didn’t want this book to end,

Absolutely brilliant story.

It was a wonderfully quintessential English house and the characters who lived and worked in it, so why oh why was it narrated by someone with an Australian accent? This totally diminished the credibility of the story! She was a perfectly good reader, but plain wrong for the part!!

A realistic account of early 20th C life in a grand English house and the beginning of the end of the servant classes.

Just discovered Kate Morton History brought to life mystery murder and intrigue take form through the mists of time. As goo as anything in this section of fiction. Fictional characters brought to life, storytelling at its best. Up there with Robert Goddard my literal hero. Now I found her off to read the rest of her work, I suggest you follow my lead.

Fabulous historical fiction
