The Mystery of the Sorrowful Maiden by Kate Saunders
4.0
This took a lot of reading. It’s strange how some books you absorb in a day, and some take a solid few weeks to get through. As far as mysteries go, this was alright - it’s not a genre I read much of, but I enjoyed this book; hence the 4 stars. I did guess most of the ‘surprises’ - the one at the very end I’d figured out pretty quickly, and it was a bold choice; though the murderer I hadn’t figured out, and it gained a star for that.
The book itself isn’t that big; about 300 pages; but it felt much longer - the plot itself had so many characters and twists and turns that it kept me engaged, and a little confused, but also felt at times like it was trying to drag itself out.
I think I’m going to look out for more in this series as I return this one to the library, and see what else mrs rodd has for me - I’ve seen the other books had better reviews than this one, so I think I’ll really enjoy those
