Quick and easy to read.
I quite liked his style, alternating chapters from the male and female characters works well. I like the dialogue and the plot, he uses minimal words, which makes a change from most long winded authors.
The story…modern love affair that is on/off etc.
Not bad but not great.

A cursed book and a troposphere = a great idea for a story.
The novel borders on sci-fi but isn’t really.
Ariel finds and reads the cursed book, then takes a potion, this takes her via the Troposphere, this allows her to jump into peoples minds (or mice’s minds!)
Would I read more by her, yes definitely.

First novel and has good reviews.
Typical of critics to like this when it misses the mark. For me it tries to be to many things…is it a ghost story, a romance, a crime mystery or a historical novel? In parts this is good.
The story in a nutshell, A women is writing a biog of Isaac Newton, she believes he may have been a murderer who stands to gain rank as the top man in Cambridge University. So bring on a murderer in 1660 and you have historical literary thriller, don’t believe the hype or the blurb.
