alissabar 's review for:
Bellman & Black
by Diane Setterfield
I so wanted to like this story. I loved Setterfield's first book, [b:The Thirteenth Tale|40440|The Thirteenth Tale|Diane Setterfield|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1346267826s/40440.jpg|849453], and so I had high expectations for this one. I didn't want it to be just like it, but I hoped it would be similar in that it would have some great twists and turns. Instead I was left waiting for something to happen . . . the whole book. I was sure something was coming, but it never did. That's not to say Setterfield doesn't know how to write. Her descriptions are amazing and I would love to walk into Bellman & Black and see the place. There was also some layers to think through.
Just as a post script, there was one part that confused me. So if any of my friends out there read this one, please tell me if the bargain made in the graveyard is ever explained. I'm not sure what the bargain was. I thought I knew, but the ending muddied the waters.
