Mrs. England is an atmospheric tale, and it has a dark, Gothic feel to it. The mystery is a slow burn that is maybe a little too slow-moving for me, but I think that's more personal preference on my part rather than anything against the book. Much like the last book I read by Stacey Halls, her talent for atmosphere and setting a scene shines, and the characters and their lives held my interest and kept me engaged for a weekend in the past, at least figuratively. To sum it up, the characters are interesting, the story is engaging, and descriptive writing makes it easy to picture the location and era. I'll be interested to see what this author does next.
