I loved this book more than I thought I would. Lyndsay Faye writes a well researched, enjoyable story. It took me a little while to get used to her writing but once I did I thought it fantastic. Sometimes I would have to read a sentence over a couple times to understand what it was she was saying but hey, I prefer that to so much that is out there that seems like Jr. High level. The middle part of the book did drag a bit but overall I can't say enough good things about it. I cared about the relationships developed in the story and the background set in 1845 New York was fascinating. The mystery was solid and when I finished the book I was extremely satisfied. I hope the next book I read comes close to this!
