Summary
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....

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

Really strange accents....
Not the best Mary Stewart, but likeable-as a book. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the narration. The accents were just odd, and some of the voices sounded like Monty Python characters. Ok

Awful performance
The terrible attempt at north east accents by the narrator. Very distracting. It would have been wiser to avoid any dialects.

Gentle story but narration not the best
A gentle story, if a little predictable, though not much romance involved. I prefer Thornyhold in terms of a country setting. The narration was not good though, as the accents were inconsistent for the characters and varied from Scottish to Welsh to Irish and back again.

A wholesome tale
A book I read in my teenage years that I have always longed to return to! Now being the same age as Kate returning to her old home, I feel so much compassion for her journey!
What an incredible story of love, mystery and family secrets! A lot of loveable characters only people who have lived in small village communities can understand.
Very enjoyable trip down memory lane!
