A review by mcmattiello
The Secret of Greylands by Annie Haynes

3.0

I agree with the reviewers that said this book is more like Victorian gothic than a golden age mystery. I didn't hate it but it was hard to believe anyone could be as unaware and oblivious as these characters were. The main character could not deal with any kind of stress and ran away from her husband because of something he did before they were married. The safe space she ran to was not safe at all and she faints and her bottom lip trembles and eventually she gets rescued. It could have been a fun read if there were at least some surprises. I kept hoping the girl would show some gumption and smarts. I may try another book by this author in the future but probably not.
