With books like this, there is always a chance that one of the timelines will drag the other down. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened.
While the part set in late 18th century London was intriguing, the part set in modern times was incredibly dull. It doesn't help that Caroline is simply a boring character and her plotline distracting. Towards the end I found myself skipping parts of the text because it was just boring and weighed down the main story.
Instead of the modern story, I wish I had more time with Nella and Eliza. I wish I could get to know more about Nella's work, maybe a few more cases. It felt like not much happened and everything peaked too soon.
To top it all up, there were some elements of magical realism/fantasy in this story that I felt were unnecessary. The whole novel seems like a work in progress in need of a much better editor.
