I enjoyed this much more than I expected, as wasn’t a fan of The Miniaturist. Then there was the key hole design on the front cover of my edition that I worried was a gimmick to make this book look more interesting than it would actually be!

However I stand corrected, and got thoroughly caught up in the story. An intriguing premise with all sorts of unexpected twists and turns. The relationships are sensitively articulated and you’re kept guessing all the way through.
