I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this novel. The fact it’s based on a real mystery made it even more intriguing to read. Like all good mysteries it keeps you guessing. A real page turner. I found the weaving of characters and narrative truly delightful. The atmosphere and setting reminds me a lot of Donna Tartt , but with its own sense of style. I really enjoyed it. One of the best historical fiction novels I’ve read this year.

Different type of historical fiction novel, similar in style to Camilla Bruce books. Interesting enough story of a girl who disappears at a ladies college in Mount Holyoake. Is she still alive? Did she take her own life or was she murdered. Always good to read about a different time period and country.
