Een goed boek met een prima uitgedacht plot waarin uiteindelijk alles op zijn plaats valt. Maar daar blijft het verder ook bij, ik verwacht niet dat ik over een jaar nog weet wat er gebeurd is of hoe het in elkaar zat. Zoveel indruk heeft het niet op me gemaakt. Dus een goed boek wat snel wegleest maar verder niet heel noemenswaardig.

If one's looking for a mystery, that should swallow them for a fortnight, this is it. Though the book is long, only at the end I realised its speed. Moreover, the length is justified by the plot, which is undeniably fenomenal and exceptional. I never felt stable on the portagonist's side, and in the end, the reader is meant to do that, as the protagonist neither feels a solid base under her legs.
It's a book that will change you, House of Correction shows you that there's always a needle in a hay.

While I did enjoy this and got swept up in the writing I couldn't get past the many aspects of the trial and how things played out because I just didn't find some of it believable. There was a lot of leeway given that made the story work that I just didn't feel would of happened.
And there are moments where Tabitha is so annoying. There is nothing wrong with an unlikable character but I can't tell if I was supposed to root for her or hate her. I don't mind this ambiguity sometimes but I didn't like it here
