A review by kalkie
The Butterfly Room by Lucinda Riley
3.0
This is an OK read which bumbles along at a reasonable pace but isn’t earth shattering in any way.
I have enjoyed Lucinda Riley’s “Seven Sisters” series (except for “The Missing Sister” which was entirely unnecessary and anticlimactic!). This certainly has the same feel of family drama and privileged lifestyle about it as the Seven Sisters series with the story peppered with trips to Fortnum and Mason’s, boarding school dramas and million pound houses aplenty!
What did surprise me is the extensive amount of drunk driving featured in the book. I actually checked the publication date and was surprised to see it was published in 2019 as the approach to drinking and driving seemed very out of synch with current practices.
