Book 9 of my 2022 Reading Challenge
After Alice Fell
by Kim Taylor Blakemore
4 stars
Published in 2021, After Alice Fell is about Marion Abbott investigating what happened to her sister Alice. She was in an asylum and they say she fell alone, either by accident or on purpose, but Marion feels there is more to the story.
I was very nervous reading this. It's set in 1865 and that's an era where women can be committed by male relatives for little to no reason. As Marion asks more questions and becomes more combative, it added a layer of suspense because not only was I reading for the mystery, there was also the low level hum in the background of feeling like Marion would be locked away for pushing it too far.
All in all, it had good pacing and kept my interest.
