Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield

3.0

---

Part one was well-written, part two was compelling, and part three was poetic. Bellman & Black captured my attention for the entire story, as I followed William Bellman's journey through a whole lot of tragic and seemingly fortuitous life events. Not as good as Setterfield's magnificent The Thirteenth Tale, but stull spell-binding, unusual, creepy, and well-written. 3.8 stars.
