Feels like the book started off well and then went off the rails. 

I love a good Gothic horror, but unfortunately this wasn’t it.

‘sometimes a hug is telepathy’ 
Stephen King does it again. A book that will stay with me for a while and, thankfully, one with a happy ending. 

Although I do wish the children at the end had stayed together. 💔

Murder on the Lusitania by Edward Marston

slow-paced

2.5

Slow to start, but an interesting mystery once it got going. 

Enjoyable enough that I would read the second, but in the hope that the second has better grammar and editing.
