'The Essex Serpent' by Sarah Perry is a book that in theory hits a lot of my likes and interests – a Victorian historical romance involving a young widower and amateur palaeontologist, who teams up with a sceptical local Vicar and investigates a local monster sighting. Unfortuantely the way it is written and how the story is laid out i cannot get into it at all, and it is a DNF for me.
Can anyone suggest any other books that have somewhat similar premise?
