The Wages of Sin by Kaite Welsh
4.0

Took me a while to read only because when I started I just was not in the mood for it. But I could tell it was a good book which I was enjoying so instead of DNF’ing it, I put it to one side which I’m super happy I did. When I picked it back up again this month I fell straight back into the world, got sucked into the story and finished the book pretty quickly.
I think it’s a super interesting take on a murder mystery - the main character being a women in the late 1800’s trying to become a doctor. The way women were tested by society back then makes my blood boil, and at times I was so angry for the characters in the book I had to take some breathers.
I totally didn’t see who did it coming so it was a twist right up until the end.
I think it’s probably a really accurate if not also sad view of what that time was like for any women who was not a high bred girl who followed the rules so that also made it really Interesting to read.
Overall I really enjoyed it and now want to read the second book!
