This is the third book in the series. The first two are Mist of Midnight and Bride
of a Distant Isle. This is the first
book I have read by this author.
Elizabeth’s father is dead, and she wants answers. The problem is, any snooping done on her part
is met with threats. Her father’s old
partner is breaking into her home, his old friend is warning her away from
seeking answers, and then there’s the mysterious Lord Lockwood. Her recently inherited country estate is near
his, and she looks to him for advice.
While she looks into her father’s death, she has her sewing
business to keep going. She’s taken in
some women and need to make sure she has enough work to keep them
employed. She enjoys creating costumes
for the theater, it makes her feel closer to her mother, who was an actress.
I believe this story had potential, but the author’s writing
style wasn’t for me. There were so many
excessively long, awkwardly written sentences that I found myself reluctant to
keep reading. I wasn’t able to connect
with Elizabeth at all, and since this is written in the first person, it
created a problem for me. It’s a pass.
*I received a copy of this book from Howard Books through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
