The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
3.0
Love Kate Morton but not this book. More of a 2 1/2 star rating.
There were too many characters with too little story for each of them that I never got attached to anyone. Even Birdie felt underdeveloped. Yes she and Edward were crazy in love but why? We never saw that relationship until the end. It would’ve been nice to see how/why they fell in love so you were invested in their story.
The ending felt rushed and unfinished. I think she was going for a “you fill in the rest” ending but I didn’t like it. Did Elodie find the box? I mean, we know what happened but does she? After all it was her curiosity that kicked off the whole thing and to not know if her questions were ever answered was disappointing. And one last thing. Why did Lucy have a concussion? That detail was why Birdie died but what happened?
