Jezebel's Daughter by Wilkie Collins

3.0

I was slightly disappointed by this book as the premise was so intriguing, but I felt like its best bits were showcased on the blurb. It was lacklustre and fairly monotonous. Although, I did enjoy the character development of Jack Straw in contrast to Madame Fontaine's increasingly desperate antics. It was refreshing to read a novel set against the backdrop of 1820s Frankfurt, which housed an array of fascinating characters. Not a favourite of mine, but worth the read.
