Elegance and wealth. Privilege and politics. The extravagance of the Butterfly Palace overwhelmed Lily's senses and nearly smothered her painful memories. She pushed away her misgivings . . . She was perfectly safe in this huge house.

Austin, Texasâ??1904: Abandoned by the love of her life and still mourning the loss of her mother, Lily Donaldson has turned her back on the pain and come to Austin for a fresh start, working for the Marshall family as a kitchen maid in their luxurious mansion, the Butterfly Palace. The tasks before her are legion, and her mistress less than pleasant, but at least Lily's new life will be, if nothing else, distracting.

But one night, while serving at a dinner party, Lily recognizes the man who abandoned her, Andy, her liaison from the livery stable, the blacksmith's son . . . sitting among the distinguished guests. Though he recognizes her, Andy does not acknowledge her aloud, and Lily is left reeling, flabbergasted, and irate.

But before she can get an explanation, the path of the Servant Girl Killer swerves very close to the Butterfly Palace, sowing terror among the maids. Having come to Austin to start anew, Lily suddenly feels trapped in a spider web. How can she know who to trust in a house where lies come dressed in fine suits and deceit in silk gowns the colors of butterfly wings?

"This story about the importance of having faith, especially in your darkest hour, is recommended for fans of Amanda Quick and Sandra Brown and for readers who enjoy romantic suspense and historical fiction." â??Library Journal… (más)

Overly dramatic and irritating. The overall theme was good but poorly executed, which surprised me because I normally enjoy Coble’s works. ( )

This book was very disappointing. I normally love this author but this book was the exception. There were quite a few mistakes that created confusion (i.e. characters suddenly "talking" but they're not in the scene). I also think some of the writing and dialogue were too 21st century for the time period in which the book was set. ( )

I absolutely love the author's style. Butterfly Palace was so well written that I was continually guessing who the bad guy was. Although I am not usually a fan of murder-mysteries, this novel, which is actually a love lost-and-found story set in 1904, involved a serial killer, a possible assassin, and a murderer from the past. All along I thought two of the three were the same person. Boy was I wrong. It is obvious Coble did her research for that era with her descriptions of clothing, transportation and daily life. ( )

This book just wasn't well written. There were too many characters that were undeveloped and several loose ends. Also, events were way too convenient (people running into each other just too conveniently). Also, I don't like books that have repeated phrases (like "heat rushing to my cheeks") - just a pet peeve and this book had a couple of examples. I do not recommend. ( )
