A review by wallflovver
Mrs England by Stacey Halls

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.75

if stacy halls has one fan, it's me

i just find her books so easy to consume, i love the historical aspects, i love the characters she writes and i love the way she builds atmosphere

i read mrs england in autumn, the second half of the book, i sat by the window during a storm and it has been the perfect setting

i worked out the main twist myself before the big reveal, i truly enjoyed piecing the mystery together. especially since ruby is an unreliable narrator, you have to pick up on the clues and secrets throughout the story yourself 

as with her other books, i feel the pacing gets a lot quicker in the final third but i wouldn't say it seems overly rushed

i just really enjoyed this read! can't wait for her next book honestly, i will keep coming back to her writing!
