It lost the plot. So it starts out strong, I was enjoying the characters and the plot was interesting. The mystery is mild which was fine. Right up until it seemed like the mystery took a major step back and became background noise. This book was listed as historical fiction and mystery/thriller. It's not any of that. It is a contemporary novel set in England at Ashton Hall. So the locale has history but it's not set in history.
All that being said, for a contemporary novel, it was okay. However, it was a bit scattered, too much happening at once and not well formulated. Since it wasn't actually a mystery, I'm not really sure what the plot was. There's family drama, that was a pretty big focus so maybe that's what we were supposed to focus on.
