Review of 'The Wharton Plot: a Novel' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Netgalley audiobook.
Not sure how I feel with this constant inserting of real life people in fictive stories but I know nothing of Edith Wharton so I don’t min (but had this been Jane Austen).
Edith finds herself drawn into the murder of a fellow writer, David Graham Phillips (also a real person) who she just met and didn’t like.
It’s a slow pace story and not that much mystery, more about Edith casting a very sad shadow over everything. She was a real downer and appeared so lonely and isolated.
As a mystery is not very engaging. Nice writing but that’s it.
The narrator Kitty Hendrix (now that’s a name for a cozy mystery heroine) does a good job reading.
2.5 rounding up as the writing is not bad.
