I haven’t yet read Edith Wharton and I want to - even more so after reading this novel based on historical people and events. I suspect I may have enjoyed this more knowing more of her writing and her life. This was fun - a mystery that I didn’t guess before the near end - and a quick read. Probably just not the right genre of book for me. Reading this piqued my curiosity about Wharton even more and for that I am grateful.
