At first i found this book a little odd, and during the first half i got a little bored and was about to give up reading it but then the action kicked in it got really good about mid way through and i could hardly put it down. im glad i kept reading. it was a very unique stry, if you like sarah waters other work you will like this!

This is an excellent read, which I could hardly put down. The first quarter I felt I wasn't sure where it was going, but I couldn't help but read it! I am glad I did, because what I got was a rolicking, intense suspense novel, brimming with character. Sarah Waters is an excellent writer, and this novel is great. Definately recommended, her characters are so incredibly real.
