Book #1 of 2020 (I know, I know...January was not a good month!) was Melmoth by Sarah Perry. I've rated it so-so because, whereas I really enjoyed the super descriptive prose style, I didn't really feel gripped by the story until after halfway through. It felt like a bit of a slog and the ending was a bit meh for my liking. That said, it has inspired me to revisit Perry's The Essex Serpent which I had tried to read and then abandoned!
