The miniaturist

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book rates 3 stars because it had an original plot line, interesting characters, and was not badly written. However, it was overly contrived to the point of pushing credulity. All of the plot twists made it impossible to really understand the characters and their motivations. Too many actions weren’t explainable, and though the deluge of secrets kept the plot moving, when it was done, its randomness felt more like a gambit than an organic story.
