What is the best Jessie Burton novel?
If you’re new to Jessie Burton I’d probably suggest reading The Miniaturist first. It was such a big hit when it was released so that would be a good place to start.
However, for me personally, her best book is The Muse. I enjoyed it far more than the Miniaturist and The House of Fortune, but obviously that’s just personal preference.
