A review by atlantabelle
The Devil in the Corner by Patricia Elliott
3.0
I received this book from netgalley in return for my honest review.
This book brings to mind the gothic novels of long ago. Sick, invalid distant family member asks the poor, destitute cousin to come live with her and be part of her household. Of course, the destitute cousin thinks this is the answer to her prayers but nothing is every what it seems is it?
All in all, an okay book. I would probably give it more like 2.5 stars instead of 3 but since that's not an option, I rounded up. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys gothic novels. It was a little slow and dragged at times but that's the type of book it is. I do wish the author had gone into more detail about what happened during her "terrible years" of being a governess. The author would mention a tiny bit and then drop the subject. I feel like if I had known more about the main character, I would have enoyed the book much more.
