The Death of Mrs. Westaway

I was originally going to give this book three stars. Mainly because I was so used to reading quick, action packed thrillers that I didn't like the slow pace of this novel. I realized that that wasn't fair though.

While this book did take quite a while for things to finally start rolling and I did get bored at times, I realized it was necessary. It was necessary to build the back story, learn the history, and to set up the events that were to come. I saw the value in that and so once I understood it, I wasn't so against the somewhat slow build.

Throughout the book I swore that I had already figured out the plot twists and was just reading to verify what I already knew. Boy I was wrong. Everything I thought I knew I was proven wrong on. Now that is amazing. I was not expecting that at all and it definitely made the book more interesting and enjoyable. While there were a few things I found out on my own, if it wasn't for the major twists that I swore I knew but didn't, I would've gave this book a lower review.
