Right now all I want to read are stories with all the gothic tropes and I happened to unearth this from a pile from some long-ago used bookstore haul. The setting is the Hudson River, with a cloistered women's college, a mental institution, and the ruins of an abandoned estate. Involves lots of art, Greek mythology, old family secrets, a murder mystery.

I absolutely loved this book. For a Jane Austen fan it was so satisfying. I loved that it sprinkled in character traits, names of future books, and plots into it. I adored Uncle Bertram and Richard Mansfield so very much. It‘s was exciting, fast moving and a perfect choice for any book lover. I also learned so much about the book collecting world. It‘s a great mystery and a heartfelt book. I‘d say more but it‘s too easy to reveal a spoiler.

Finished every book but A Demon Summer. 213 pages in. With the exception of Suspense and Sensibility, all the books were such a pleasure to read. #MaxTudormystery #shesaid #sundaybuddyread #audio #literarymystery

Up next.

My first choice for this was The Flatshare but quite a few other people chose it so I went with this one. I love almost anything that's Austen related. 😁

Finished the first in series by Emily Organ, Limelight, today(read 50% to end). Starting 2nd in series, The Rookery. Plan to read sections of the other books, and leaving myself open to something that may strike my mood.??
