★★★★☆ : Great! I liked this book!
This historical fiction slash mystery suspense got me up all night. My eyes got wide from the moment I read the bloody prologue and continued to feel nervous as the chapters progressed.
Cady Delafield was a force, a paradox. At first, I didn’t understand how and why she had chosen to be a martyr, to accept whatever dirty little secrets her betrothed Doyle Flannagan was hiding. (Maybe it had to do with the fact that I wasn’t able to read the first book in the series).
Nevertheless, Cady had grown on me and I soon realized that there was more than met the eye. Their partnership was remarkably astounding, their chemistry sizzling. Even the timeline (Chicago in the 1880s) was magnificently depicted. I never thought I’d fully appreciate the beauty and wonders last century brought to the story.
Joyce Proell is an effective author and a really talented one at that. The mystery surrounding the characters really made it hard for me to put this book down! The suspense literally killed me!
