For once my refusal to read a synopsis pays off! This was a wild ride.

I thought the only twist was the affair but then the murder and covering up of the murder was unhinged.

This book is a long haul, but it keeps good intensity up throughout.

After struggling with reading The Paying Guests outright I decided to give the audio book a try since it was available on Scribd. While the narration was enjoyable and I’m glad to have gotten a better ear and some practice on my Londoner accent, overall this book was a disappointment for me. Unfortunately Sarah Waters seems to have a talent for making everything boring. Literally everything. There’s something that happens in this book that is sooo unexpected and exciting! And it was so interesting and not boring! And then it got taken and was turned into this long long long draaaaawwwwn out thing and was almost unbearably boring again. I think I’ve read YA love stories that were better and more genuine than this. Somehow in this 500+ page novel the characters were underdeveloped and nearly static. I grew tired of their problems and concerns, and sadly that’s what the whole book was about. I almost DNFd it but I don’t like doing that and I had already come so far.
