A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch

2.0

I just had a really, really hard time getting into this book. With not one, but TWO murders, you would think it would be an exciting read, but I just found myself not caring. I appreciated the historical side of things, but since it's not particularly interesting to me I got very frustrated with the descriptions of politics, even when they were relevant. I'd recommend to those who like historical fiction, especially with a political edge, and maybe to readers of classic murder mysteries, but would not recommend to anyone looking for a fast-paced or exciting read.
