Review: The Poison Thread

The Poison Thread The Poison Thread by Laura Purcell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dottie is rich, yet interested in how head lumps cause people to murder and be bad (science has come a long way, hasn't it?), so she volunteers at a women's prison and encounters young Ruth. Ruth is in prison for murdering her mistress and tells her tale to Ruth. I was a bit bored in the middle with so much telling and wanted the action, but, then, at the end, I felt like I had to re-read. Gothic and I just don't get along very well--too much telling and description. I wanted tighter editing in the middle and 3/4 in.
