luciajane 's review for:

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
4.0

I liked reading a story about Amsterdam as it is so close to home. The historical elements combined with a bit of mystery made the story work for me, although I didn’t like most of the characters. But all in all I really liked this book. Especially reading it in December. Somehow it fits with the darkness from the book.
