Good book, but not quite as good as The Dollhouse. About another iconic New York building told in part in 1885 and in part in 1985. The 1885 story, the murder, was a little predictable in the whodunit. The end of that story line seemed a little rushed. I was surprised that Theo was not quite the golden boy he seemed all along. The 1985 story I liked a little better and those characters were a little more obvious between the nice characters and the petty and entitled characters. In The Dollhouse a lot of the history of the building itself was true. I'm not so sure whether that is true for this book as well - off to google and find out.
