With each book in this series we travel to different parts of the world as the sisters each investigate the clues their adoptive father has left them. Riley deftly interweaves the sister's story with tales from the past which shed light on the sister's origins.
Star, the third sister, has always been quiet and shy, living in the shadow of her boisterous sister CeCe. As the story progresses, we see her come out of her shell. Her clues lead her to a London bookshop, and the characters she meets are wonderfully drawn. 
The story—both past and present—is set in England. Star’s clues lead her to learn about Flora MacNichol, a young girl living in the Cumbrian countryside during the Edwardian period. We meet historical figures—Beatrix Potter among them—and journey from the countryside to London.
Riley sure can tell a story, and I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to the rest of the series. It looks as if we will be traveling to distant lands in the next book!

So straight off the bat I love Lucinda Riley's writing style and have read quite a few of her books. I was really excited to read this as I find the series and the idea behind it fascinating. This being the third book in the series it was nice to see Star (Asterope) grow out of her shell. I love how the books tie in historical fiction and blend it in with the girls modern day lives as they find out about their birth families. Lucinda has currently written 3/7, personally I can't wait until they're all out and I can read them straight through.

Another great book from this author. I enjoyed the first two books more than this one but they are all brilliant.
The only down side was the fact that I couldn't get out of my mind that Orlando spoke like C3PO and Star's secret was an anti-climax!
Looking forward to the next one in the series.
