Coram House by Bailey Seybolt
3.0
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

I try to keep my ratings consistent across platforms, but I really wish Goodreads would allow half stars. I would have given this 3.5 stars if Goodreads allowed it. 

It was an interesting story, but I couldn’t get into it at first. Around 100 pages in, there was a murder, which finally captured my attention. 

In my opinion, there were too many unnecessary details and descriptions. I realize details are needed to set the scene, but I felt there was too much repetitiveness. Because of this, I found myself not wanting to pick the book up to finish, but forcing it, which is never a good thing for me - and is why I couldn’t give it 4 stars.
