As well as a comples mystery with many strands to untangle, this is quite a deep commentary on capitalist thinking and on social mores of the 19th century. The book didn't grip me on every page, and one is not meant to warm to it's often unscrupulous characters. Hard capitalists can be passionate, however, and the plots final twists make a satisfying conclusion.
