Black Rabbit Hall
by Eve Chase
Honestly, this should never be compared to Kate Morton’s work. The writing was choppy and inconsistent (e.g., from smaller details like having a character put to wit shoes back on and then in the next paragraph we are told she was barefoot still and put her shoes on again, to bigger details in plot).
I love books involving time jumps, old houses, family secrets, etc. but there are ways to wind these themes together in a way that doesn’t feel like one is checking off a list of tropes. This book played on every single trope and poorly at that.
Characters were entirely one dimensional, plot was anticipated, and though everything falls apart in quick succession at the end, it’s all wrapped up in such “convenient” ways in the last few chapters.
