Bellman & Black: A Ghost Story by Diane Setterfield

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this book but it was subtitled as being a "ghost story" so I kept expecting it to take a different path. It felt like a combination of Poe and Dickens and was very well done. The only beef I had was with the way the passage of time was conveyed. All of a sudden many years would have passed and it would take a while for the author to explain.

This review is based on an advanced copy received from the publisher.
