I'm truly confused on how to rate this book. Sarah Waters used to be my go-to without even considering much what I was picking up, I trusted the book to sweep me off my feet. This time I can say that the first 1/3 of the book was spectacular, up until the point where it turned into an overblown crime story that didn't have any business dragging on for as long as it did.
I'm sorry, but if you want to get introduced to the genius of Sarah Waters, please choose something else. I appreciate that the author wanted to try something different, maybe, but it read like two different books smashed into one without good rhyme or reason.
