Loose retelling of Bluebeard with lush writing and a mystery at its heart. You get alternating chapters from the perspective of the bridegroom in the present and the childhood best friend in the past. There is some truly beautiful writing, but I was ultimately left wanting a little more depth on the character of Indigo.
