knit_and_purl 's review for:

The Wages of Sin by Kaite Welsh

DID NOT FINISH

---

As much as I wanted to love it, I just couldn't find my footing with this one. The story sounds right up my alley--mystery, historical, medicine--but the writing was slow and never seemed to get the right momentum. The mystery barely surfaces in the first 80 pages, and although I thought the author did an amazing job capturing the atmosphere of the period, I wanted more. I might try it again another time, but at this moment, this wasn't the book for me.
