Yes, I did like it. I think the use of Highgate Cemetery made it especially interesting. Now I want to visit it. There were things about the book that bothered me some, the ending was not very satisfying, but overall it was an excellent read.

971945 50. The Sisterby Poppy Adams The Sister (2 stars)

I hate that #50 was so disappointing, but I had hoped to read more than 50 anyway. Last year, I read 70 and originally planned to read 75 this year, but that was before I decided to read the whole Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Those books were worth the reduction in my goal.
