30 Day Book Meme (2014 version) - Day 18

Day 18 – A book that disappointed you
2010 Answer: Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy - Two Shall Become One

Okay, so this year's answer was not as bad as the last one.  That would have taken some special talent.

This year's answer is more disappointing, because it could have been really good.  Two For Sorrow by Nicola Upson features a 1930s writer, Josephine Tey (who in reality wrote Daughter of Time, which is quite good - also Tey was a penname for the actual author, to my understanding) and of course, she runs into mysteries.  I tried another book by the same author when it was cheap on Kindle, but gave up on it because it was heavily focused on theatre personalities of the era, something I really don't care about.

My review on Amazon is here.

Two for Sorrow opens with Tey working on a novel based on a historical crime, the Finchley baby farmers.  Of course, because she's a mystery writer in a mystery novel, we know this is not going to go well.

I just wanted to like it more than I did.
