The Countess by Rebecca Johns

2.0

Eh - I just started this book and am about 75pg in and it doesn't capture my attention or maintain it. I had anticipated the letter style of the book but even that didn't set my reading stage up well. This is a well put together book - just not one I will finish thoroughly. The questions that are (in my mind) the overarching questions (worst serial killer vs accusers created the violent fiction) don't seem to be delved into much nor are they hinted at in the book. it is well researched and the writing is effortless but the subject doesn't attract me as much as I thought it would.
