A review by rebroxannape
Shadows of Swanford Abbey by Julie Klassen

**DNF** was excited by the glowing reviews and comparisons to Victoria Holt and Mary Stewart. Cross between A. Christie and Jane Austen? I found the writing stiff and dull. Simplistic and juvenile. The narrative voice was deadpan. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. Oh well. she's certainly found an audience. Just not for me.
