I personally found how the story unfolded predictable and even the beautiful writing couldn’t completely win me over. Gregory used two biographies of Anne, one by the American historian Retha Warnicke and another source by Marie-Louise Bruce (1972).

In that respect, I'd compare this one to Ira Levin's A Kiss before Dying, which also contains some powerhouse shocks. For the bulk of the story, however, we have the POV of Niles, a thirteen year old kid wiling away the summer in a big old farm in Connecticut. I will say a HUGE caveat that this review may be revised after publishing, because I read an early proof and I imagine it will be significantly edited to iron out some of the mistakes/problems in the writing, so I'm reviewing under that assumption.
