Fingersmith

It definitely takes a surprising turn.

Fantastic fun read

Too many "gotcha" moments. Intricate but overly involved.

Bodice ripper with clever twists and turns in the plot but some of it is repetitive. Good but not great.

This book surprised me with plot twists THREE times! I had to put it down and just think about the turn of events for a little while because I was so shocked by the various turns of events. From the slums of London to an English country estate, to an insane asylum, this story is told in two voices. Not one very likable character among them, but very enjoyable read.
