The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
3.0

2.5

This is not a bad book, and Burton's description of Amsterdam and her historical detail are rich. Yet, there was nothing really surprising, and the ending was rather wanting in some ways. I know that is how life is, but after all the build up, I was hoping for something that wouldn't be too obvious at least. In some ways, it felt like the ending was designed for a sequel should Burton chose to write one.
