2.5

Quite slow and uninteresting for the most part, gets better in the last quarter as they actually start unravelling the mystery. Modern day storyline seemed unnecessary and eh for the most part until the end

I couldn't get my teeth into this book from the minute I started until I DNFed and I have been trying to wreck my brain to find out why. I think it's 2 fold for me;

First, the writing style was torn between old timey writing style that tried to carry through into the present day POV in a way that sadly didn't work (for me at least).

I can tell the Author cared more about the 1886 naritive than the present day one, and this really shows through in the writing of the 2 different perspectives. The 1886 perspective, Elizabeth, have much more personality than the present day, Anna, who, in the pages I read, has 1 defining character trait; she was given a house by her grandma. I learnt more about Anna from the back of the book than I did from the pages of the book.
