A review by jo_cbooks
The Curse of Penryth Hall by Jess Armstrong
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
I chose this book because the 1920s is my favourite era in history. Also because I have been wanting to read more mystery. Unfortunately, it did not quite hit the mark for me. I think it would be a great read for people who love historical mysteries with curses and unexplainable paranormal events.
There were a few writing points that felt out of place, like the familiarity between characters who only just met or who were of different stations. The story concept was intriguing and the gothic setting was fitting, it just was not the book for me. I may pick it up at a later time since I do want to know the ending, it's just not the right fit for me at the moment.
Regarding the audiobook itself, I really enjoyed the narrator. Emma Love's voicing of multiple characters helped make them stand out as individuals rather than struggling to follow who may be talking.
