A review by novelesque_life
The Mitford Scandal by Jessica Fellowes
3.0
RATING: 3.5 STARS
2019; Minotaur Books/St. Martin's Press
I changed my rating for this novel from 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars to rounded down to three. My reasoning in changing this rating is the pacing of this novel. I felt like someone kept pressing fast forward and suddenly it was years later. It made sense in some cases, but at times for the cases it felt like too much time had gone by. I was listening to this on audio and thought I had nodded off a few times. I would rewind it a bit to realize that time in the novel had moved. In this book, I just did not get into the characters. They felt a bit distant and more like names than traits. I do like Guy and Louisa and I was happy to see more of them in this novel. I am looking forward to the next installment and hope the timeline doesn't zoom ahead too much.
