plaidpladd 's review for:

The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
2.0
emotional mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Diverse cast of characters: No

I've liked other Kate Morton books, but this one was just okay. It's suuuuper slow, which isn't always a bad thing, but I don't think the pay off was worth it in this case. The answer to the mysteries turned out to be weaker than the solutions I had guessed at, and you have to suspend your disbelief pretty hard because characters can act pretty randomly just to add to ~the drama~. I liked the multiple timelines/multiple POV though.
