I loved the premise of this and enjoyed the start, but then found the pace too slow for me - although the final denouement happens really quite suddenly and then it's all over. It has a lot of themes in it that I like - the period, women trying to make their way in a world built for men, big country houses, gothiky element - but I found Hetty quite hard to like and as the other characters (except Lucy) are deliberately remote and hostile that was a problem. Ultimately it didn't really gel together for me. Which is a shame. Never mind. Just not quite for me.
