I still have questions. I think some ideas were touched upon but then either were never picked up again or not explored fully.

3.0

It incorporates history with a fictional storyline, creates a sense of mystery to what is happening in the England household as well as going into detail about main characters background.

However the book took a while to reach the climax, it sometimes became slow paced. It almost felt like nothing occurred for the first half of the book, I wish there was more build up.
