A review by shankl
Ashton Hall by Lauren Belfer

3.0

Ashton Hall is billed as a gothic mystery so as a reader I thought it might a bit more suspenseful. Unfortunately it was a very tame and proper english investigation into a body found hidden in a castle. I did enjoy the research into finding out "the who" the mystery women was and how she came to be dead in a locked away room within the walls.

Hannah's storyline with her husband was so off-putting, and he was just awful when he showed his true colors. Belfer has a beautiful writing style, and I am open to reading future works under her pen. Overall this book is 3.5

Thank you Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Ballantine Books for the advance reader copy.
