Review: As good as any classic you’ll read in this genre.

If you like historical fiction, there's something for everyone in this book: good period setting, the down and out woman looking for hope in her life, the rich aristocracy, dark secrets in the past, rich and hidden jewels, and all that good juicy stuff that makes a great historical novel. What elevates Trout and West’s book is their writing style & skill in managing characterization and plot.I found this to be a fast, intense, thrilling, love stroke mystery story. Margaret Wentworth is no 2D character, but instead a complicated, remarkable character, and a very strong female character in a genre that usually draws women as beautiful victims at best. Definitely recommendable.This is one you should certainly try out.
