The Thirteenth Tale is a Gothic mystery, full of dark atmosphere and family shadows.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this one, but I've had it on my shelf for a while now and decided it was time to pick it up.

The pace is very slow for this one, and I'm sure that will put off a lot of readers. For me, it was perfect for the style of writing and for the underlying story. This was not meant to be fast, or even medium-paced.

The mystery surrounding the author, Vida Winter, and her story of beginnings, middles and endings was done very well. I did not expect the conclusion that came at the end.

Overall, a very dark and enjoyable read and one I recommend.
