5,0 su 5 stelle What an Ending!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the second in the Diane Rivers' series.

The picture she painted of Malaya made me want to jump on a plane and go there immediately.

The ending was a real OMG moment! Never in a million years would I have guessed it.
I'm definitely going to download "The Surgeon's Blade", the next Diane Rivers adventure.

If you love mysteries this is certainly a book for you.

I absolutely loved this and became totally engrossed with story. (So much so, I put aside a Nick Hornby paperback to finish reading this on my kindle.) A five star book in every way.
I enjoyed Mortimer's first novel but I felt this one was at a completely different level. I crossed the magical line between reading a good story and feeling so involved with the characters I genuinely cared about the outcome.
While on holiday in Malaysia Diana is asked to read some family journals and to tell the true story of events that happened from the late 1950s to the early 1970s.
Mortimer's description of time and place is her greatest strength. Her keen visual imagery conveys the ambience of the setting, with apparent ease. Coupled with her knowledge/research (?) into local politics/history as a reader, I felt I was transported to Kebun Pertama in the 1960s.
The main and supporting characters were fully developed and felt very real. I especially liked Alex and yet the ending still took me by surprise. Dialogue and pace were pitch perfect and didn't feel forced or un-natural at any point. Put these together with an intriguing and unusual story and the result is an all-consuming 5 star read.
I would like to pick up on a previous reviewers comment about the diary entries. I read it as the "novel" Diana was asked to write by Miss Chalcot after reading the entries and putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
I highly recommend this one.

5,0 su 5 stelle What a "novel" idea!

Faith Mortimer picked an interesting and effective method to weave her story and unravel a compelling mystery. Miss Chalcot, the intriguing hostess and owner of an old Malaysian rubber plantation turned hotel, hires a guest, Diana Rivers, on vacation and likened to a "modern day Agatha Christie", to write a novel that would tell the Chalcot family's story. The vehicle Miss Chalcot offers for Diana's research is a group of diaries written by the since deceased mistress of the plantation, Miss Chalcot's mother. Through the always curious eyes of Diana, the wonderful old ex-family plantation is explored and the diaries read. Slowly, via the vehicle of Diana's observations of both the place and the written word, the mystery and true story of the Chalcot family is revealed.
The foreshadowing is apparent, yet so subtly constructed that it hooks you to want to read on. Sure enough, Diana finds that there is a novel in Miss Chalcot's papers. But, how much should Diana reveal?

All of the Diana Rivers series of stories are stand-alone books which is just as well because I seem to have read the first three out of order.

‘Children of the Plantation’ is the second in a series of six (so far) that the lovely Diana Rivers is part of and is set in Malaysia. Diana spent some of her childhood in Malaysia but now she has returned with her husband on holiday.

The owner of the small hotel recognises Diana as an author she enjoys reading and asks if she would look over some diaries and perhaps work it into one of her books. The dairies cover a period of late 50’s and early 60’s when morals and the way of life were different to modern day living.

The transition between now and then is seamlessly woven by Faith who has a great flair in describing landscapes and the countryside so well so that you feel part of that scenery even though you may never have been there.

Diana is drawn into the diaries and realises that there is more to them than just a straightforward family affair of running a rubber plantation. Themes of the 50’s when the male word was law run through it; themes of sexual orientation are hidden but not always successfully, themes of pubescent stirrings also run through the book, a touch of racism and insurgency lead to a drastic outcome which reverberates on years after as Diana delves deeper and deeper in to the lives of the family of the plantation.

Others have given good synopses of the plot. Suffice it to say that the mystery stems from events which happened in what is now Malaysia in the 1950's and 1960's. The author gives us a good feel for the ex-pat lifestyle during that time and an introduction into the political events that were taking place in the area. That in itself makes the book worth reading.

The detective is Diana Rivers, a mystery writer, who, with her husband, takes a holiday in Malaysia at hotel which is a former rubber plantation. The mystery unfolds as Diana reads the diaries and other papers having to do with the former owners and inhabitants of the plantation, and that's my only real criticism -- the narrator is constantly changing, and I had to keep checking to see who was the speaker this chapter.

Nit picking aside, the writing is good and the plot moves right along. Some people may think that the book is a little short, but I think that's preferable to something that drags on and on. The plot has lots of twists and turns, some of which strain credibility, but the book is definitely a good read. I will be reading more of Ms. Mortimer's books.
