3.0

Looking solely at the dust jacket blurb for Mrs. March, I thought it was more of a modern murder mystery story. (I bought it on sale at B&N and told my mom she could read it after me because it seemed up her alley too—I retracted that offer!) 

While I personally have found I’m not crazy about psychological thrillers like this, I can appreciate that it is well written.

However, the third person narration left me wanting more…

  I would have liked to have heard more from other characters’ perspectives, specifically the experiences they were having alongside Mrs. March, especially people like Martha or the upstairs neighbor.

Overall, it was a solid read. Not one I’ll revisit, but not one that will slip out of my memory anytime soon.
