First, thank you to NetGalley, for my copy of The London Restoration. This was my first time reading this author and I was very excited about this book, I loved the cover and the description of the story. This book is very detailed, especially around the Christopher Wren churches and it bogs down the story. I understand the author loves these churches but this book is very, very descriptive. I could not get to the plot for all the descriptions about the churches and architecture. There have only been a few time that I laid a book down before it was finished and this was one of those times.
