Review: Plodding and truly Victorian

Plodding is the only word that I can think to describe this story.  It reminded me of true Victorian novels written by Victorian authors.  By todays standards they are slow and spend a great deal of time explaining to the reader what has happened or will happen.  The main character of this story was more like a spoiled child than a young woman who had been wrongly accused of murder in the past - Was she? - and now was intent on proving the innocence of another. The little bit of dialogue, external and internal, barely held the story together.  I was barely able to finish the story simply because I have a personal rule to finish every book I start. I could say more but there is not enough space.  It was very disappointing.
