Review: The Key In The Lock

The Key In The Lock by Beth Underdown
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gah, wrote a review and my iPad lost it.

In 1888 Ivy is a young woman in a small town in Cornwall. In 1919 as a mother she reflects on the tragic events of Christmas 1888 and how they have shaped her life.

The reader only gradually discovers what Ivy did, sadly none of the plot ‘twists’ were particularly original and were signalled so well in advance that I was almost perpetually unsurprised.

I found Ivy an unsympathetic character and that may have coloured my view of the book.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
