A review by marilynsaul
The Chimney Sweeper's Boy by Barbara Vine

1.0

Hated the first chapter, but Ursula was introduced in the second and I felt an affinity to her. But then she became annoying in her acquiescence. And her daughters were just downright annoying all through the book, having had a rather sick relationship with their father, and then always, always the tears!!!! What really irritated me though was that the reader was made privy to all the "clues" in the "mystery", but the characters themselves never caught on - how bizarre!!! A totally predictable ending, and I couldn't WAIT to be done with this horrid book!
