This book was much longer than other ones by this author. That being said I finished it in a day because the mystery component was engaging. I found I didn't connect as much with the characters in this book and the subject matter was overall depressing really. It mentioned architecture but didn't really go into it like the subjects in her other books-it was mostly limited to one house that was constantly looked at. I did like the Pride & Prejudice references but was surprised by a lot of the dialogue from the rector. I didn't "fall for him" but in the end saw how it could work out the way it did. As with many mystery books once you figure out the secret you aren't likely to read it again, unlike many of the author's other books which I would read over, but I didn't strongly dislike this one.
