The Secret Guests by Benjamin Black

2.0

---

This book sounded like it would be interesting, but the novel turned out to be very unimpressive. First off, besides the interesting setting, there's not much to this story. It's kind of a mystery, kind of a drama, and mostly just dull. It's got some interesting descriptions, but there are too many bland characters to keep track of and the story never really goes anyway. It's like reading about a person going through their ordinary day for 300 pages. I was honestly yawning for most of this book.
