The Butcher's Daughter: A Foundlings Novel by Wendy Corsi Staub

3.0

The Butcher's Daughter starts off slowly but escalates into a thrilling mystery. The story interweaves a tale of murder along with the mystery of finding Amelia's parents and Stockton's daughter. The mixing of the two seems a little weird at first but it all comes together about midway in the book.
The story is original and well written. I liked Amelia's storyline more than I did the storyline about the murder and would be interested in reading more stories about Amelia searching for ancestral connections.
Thanks to Netgalley, William Morrow, and the Scene of the Crime Early Reads for the advanced copy of this book. The opinions are my own.
