First 5* of 2019.

There are so many reviews about this one that I have no idea what to write. I will just say that I regret not having read it earlier. I had it in my shortlist for about 3 years and for different reasons I kept postponing to start this dark and wonderful gothic mystery. Don't be like me! Read it now!

This is a long book to keep you busy --while "busy'!!! :) xo" I finished some time ago but did not have the time to write a review. I read while holding the two for sleep. Loved it. I don’t know why it took me so long to start it.

Barb H What a coincidence! I just reread this for the 3rd time for a book group. Of course I liked it, but it is quite dated. I've seen a couple of old films based on this book.

Vicki Laws One of my favorites.

Vicki Laws If you read about her childhood, some things slit into place. At least, they did for me.

Vicki Laws Slot... apologies. Phone set to Dutch. Is there no edit button?!?! For unintended typo errors? 😂

Markus Thanks, Adina. I have this book on my list since long. Will have to shift it up.
About reviews, I never look up other reviews before I have written my own.
It gives you the free feeling to write sincerely what YOU thought about it.

Teodora Paslaru It's also on my list for a long time. I always want to start it, but I always find something else. I'll keep your words in mine, and maybe next time I'll really pick it and read it.

Bharath Happy you liked it Adina. Interestingly at about 50 pages, I thought it was boring and almost gave up. Thankfully did not and loved how it progressed after that. After that made it a habit not to leave any book unfinished!
