A re-telling of Bluebeard where the wife has some dark secrets of her own. It's not a bad take, but it's not really anything to write home about, either. The strongest part of the book is probably Laura Barrett's illustrations, although I don't think those alone are worth the cover price.

Received via Edelweiss. (
