Great Read

Beautiful story, and very much in the same text as the Cheney Duvall series, a definite read if you are a Cheney Duvall or Gilbert Morris fan!

Excellent

As the last book in the entire Cheney series I must say this is well written and has a great story line.

great book even after long wait

I have read all of the Cheney Duvall series and love them all.The long wait for this new book was worth it.It is intriguing and easy to understand.I always learn something new and fascinating by all the research done in the writing of the book.As usual I think the new Cheney Duvall book is a hit.

1800's CSI Cheney and Shilo style!

I waited very impatiently for this newest installment to the Inheritance series and I'm completely satisfied with it! Once again, another great book from the Morris duo. I can only hope for more Cheney and Shiloh books! I'd hate to see them go! Trying to escape the brutal NY winter, Cheney and Shiloh take Cheney's parents and her brother Dev's family to winter in the balmy South. When they arrive at the house that Victoria has rented, they discover a body in the cellar and so much more! I love reading about Cheney's pure enthusiasm when faced with the prospect of doing an autopsy and looking at slides of "liver juice and eyeball jelly" (as Minerva puts it). I also thought it was very clever that Grinder's will involved the use of Shakespeare's "Macbeth". Great book, highly recommended!

Great new book in the series

For those of you who have read and loved all of the "Cheney Duvall, MD" books and the "Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance" books, you will not be disappointed with this continuation in the series. I could hardly put it down until I finished reading it! The great things about this book are the same in the rest: the author has a gift for description, from the character's attire, post-Civil War mannerisms and etiquette, to the setting the book takes place in. It really makes the reader be able to acurately picture exactly what is going on. Also, each character is very well developed with their thoughts and emotions and you find yourself curious about every single one. "There is a Season" includes almost all of the main characters from the previous two novels. Cheney and Shiloh, of course, but also Cheney's parents, Dev and Victoria with their 3 adopted children (Dart, Solange, and Lisette), Bain Winslow, plus our favorite hired help like Sketes, Fiona, and Jauncy. The plot was different (murder wasn't really something Cheney had experienced until the last novel) and intriguing. The only disappointment I had was that there is not very much about the relationship between Cheney and Shiloh. Cheney didn't even personally enter the book until a few chapters had gone by. Maybe the first two books of "Cheney & Shiloh: The Inheritance" had more relationship development simply because it was the beginning of the Irons-Winslows' marriage. Dev was also absent until the end of the book, so there was hardly any information on the Dev-Victoria relationship or what Dev thinks of his new introduction to parenthood with his adopted kids. Overall, it was a great read and I will read it many times again. I hope there will be more in the series!
