laurenjpegler's review against another edition
2.0
This was slow going. The first 280 pages were very dull and I only got caught up in the story in the last hundred pages. Too much attention was focused on irrelevant details and history when it should have been centred on the actual murder, the father’s madness and the history behind that psychology. Could have been so much better as a novella, or could have worked if the last one hundred pages were drawn out and not focused on maman’s pregnancies and death (as that really had no relevance).
