Why read it?
1 author picked The Black Book of Secrets as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book won a few awards and it is easy to see why. It has a brilliantly written plot of old-world small country European nostalgia of the Dickensian spirit. It twists and turns and is told from different perspectives. Deliciously sinister and greedy and secretive. Wonderful to read by the fireplace. The story creeps and flows to a heart drumming climax and Ludlow is a wonderful character. You have to love a book about an awful broker type that trades in people’s secrets!
Highly recommended – hard to believe it was a debut novel by the author as well –…
From S.B.'s list on wildly worldly invention in fantasy and steampunk.
