The Crooked House by Christobel Kent

So, this is not a full review yet... I just wanted to touch base and say this book is so good, and being I am only on page 54, I have a lot to look forward. A British mystery, with a horrific history for the main character makes for compelling reading. The writing style is solid and features a somewhat precarious relationship between Allison and Paul, Allison's slightly older boyfriend. I look forward to finishing this book and will let you know what I think.

Bradstreet Gate

Sadly, I cannot recommend this book. With an acceptable premise, and good writing, it got off to a good start. You follow three former Harvard students through their lives. But nothing much else happens. While they attended Harvard, a professor is a prime suspect in a murder case. That's about it in a nutshell. I was expecting a good murder mystery, but quickly lost interest. While the writing itself was excellent, the storyline was disappointing.Bloggingforbooks.com provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
