He is called to a house to care for a young child who has a terrible cough. He is immediately drawn to the mother, Charlotte Eden. Charlotte is married to a wealthy architect. Gilbert’s sister remembers her when she worked making hats. It is obvious to Lenore that her brother has fallen for Charlotte.
The mystery comes in when Gilbert is asked to remove Charlotte’s body. There is so much I would love to say but won’t give it away.
We see a society where those who are in power and have lots of money rule. Women have no rights and if some people had their way there would be slavery again. The author has told a story in the flowery and flowing way it would have been spoken in that time period. For some this may be a hindrance. It took me a couple of chapters before I was comfortable with this aspect. However, it actually put me in the time period. This author has a way of helping the reader visualize everything around them. I love a book that draws me in and carries me around twists and turns to the point I don’t see the ending coming. I love the historical aspect of this book. For me the emotional factor was a plus. I could feel how much Lenore felt she needed to protect her brother’s heart. I could see how Gilbert fell hard for Charlotte from the beginning. I agreed to read this book because there was the mystery aspect and it was historical fiction. I got so much more than I bargained for from reading this book. I highly recommend anything by this author.
