The Red Palace

This book was basically a murder mystery but set in 1700s Korea. The setting was really cool and it was interesting to learn about all the social norms of that time period, but unfortunetly the story itself fell flat for me. I was shocked when the romance was developed because it felt like it came out of nowhere. Also, the reveal of who the killer was wasn't very shocking to me but the reason why is a spoiler. I will continue to read everything June Hur writes though and I'm still looking forward to reading her one backlist book I haven't gotten to yet.
