Book Review: The Undoing Of Violet Claybourne

As much as I want to love The Undoing of Violet Claybourne, I felt like a lot has been left out in order for me to get into that level. Granted that I am not really a fan of historical gothic mysteries, it takes a lot for me to love a book belonging to the genre.
