Review: The Curse of Penryth Hall

The Curse of Penryth Hall The Curse of Penryth Hall by Jess Armstrong
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I really wanted to like this one, with its gothic atmosphere at a stormy Cornish manse and our protagonist working in a bookstore with an old man proprietor and a lovely black cat. But the book very quickly managed to lose my interest despite the murder and mayhem that happens. I think I’m either in a reading slump, or I just couldn’t keep my mind on this one. Either way, it’s sadly an official DNF for me.
