A deep-dive into the published diaries of a Swedish immigrant in England the early 20th century. There's a mystery (actually 2). I found it all to be a bit fussy and the plotting didn't add up to too much. Still really enjoyed the fictional world it created, could easily imagine revisiting Asta's Book and bumping it up a star.

I did read/listen to the magnificently performed audiobook during a trip to Denver for a funeral so like it was kind of a lot. Still was a solid Rendell either way though, just not my favorite one.
