Lisa G. (plum-marie) - reviewed on 9/28/2016 + 117 more book reviews

One of my first pet peeves about this book was the long list of characters at the front of the book rather than the end of the book. Not only do you already feel overwhelmed, that there are so many people to keep straight you need a list, but it gives away key scenes in the story that you haven't even read yet. I had a very hard time getting into the book, the writing style did not help me lose myself in the story. At first I really didn't like the main characters but they grew on me once in England. Didn't care a ton for the mystery side of things, did notice the Downton Abbey comparison of hearing about above stairs and the servants life in the same story. I made it through the story but it isn't one I'll come back to, own, or recommend.
