Book 28

Book 28 was the Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. The book is about a young women who is chosen to write the biography of a notoriously private, famous and elderly writer.

The book was enjoyable-it maintained some decent suspense throughout the whole book, until the mystery of the "thirteenth tale" was revealed. The idea of twins and siblings in general was explored in the book, as was the concept of family and the truth. Overall the book was strong, with a few spots were the plot slowed down a bit. By the time the mystery was revealed, I was half way to solving it myself. I do think I have been reading too many books with romantic sub plots-I kept expecting a romance plot line to develop, and it never did.
