2024

I wanted to love this one but it just missed the mark and I struggled to get through it. It had a lot of potential. Based on the dark and brooding cover and the synopsis, I was expecting more of a thriller / suspense / dark gothic feel but the mystery was solved early on and the rest of the book was just the FMC trying to prove to a male-dominated high society that she isn't insane and that her husband is a gaslighter, adulterer, and crook. Like I said, good premise but it didn't deliver. I'm not sure where the twists everyone mentions come about? The narration was extremely robotic. The setting didn't really deliver the gothic vibes I was hoping for. She was hardly at the house it seemed? I wish I had more positive things to say, but I'm struggling to find them.

I received a digital ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
