Marlowe's writing seems to be hit or miss for me, and this one was a miss. It really drags through these little interactions and drama of the side characters that have little to do with the story other than aggravate the MC. As many other reviewers said, it also seems pretty historically inaccurate about the interactions between servants and servants with their employers. There's also little romance here, just a teenage-style infatuation that didn't appeal to me and wasn't even the main plot point in the book. If you want to read about the hijinks of an rich, na??ve Georgian eccentric and the trouble he puts literally everyone he knows through, then you might enjoy this but otherwise I'd give it a miss.
