sarasreading 's review for:

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
3.5
lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I heard this was a comedy and expected to actually laugh. I didn't, but I did really come to enjoy the story. It took me a long time to get hooked, about a third of the way in, but then I couldn't put it down. 

I would have even given it a higher rating but certain mysteries were put forth that I was extremely interested in, and there were no answers. So that bugged me. At any rate, I can see this as a story I'd like to return to. 

Also, I love Pearl Mackie, so even though I have a physical copy, when I came across her narration of this, I knew I had to hear it. I wasn't disappointed in the least. She absolutely brought this to life!
