5 Stars!
Lady Fanny Morgan has spent much of her life as a member of the highest social circles, a position she relished until the sudden death of her husband. Convinced that foul play was involved, she is desperate to uncover the truth and discover the identity of his murderer.
Detective Julian Gray is one of the hardest working members of the Metropolitan Police Force. He has developed a reputation for unrelenting determination when it comes to solving cases; however, that tenacity has been put to the test by his latest case, a series of mysterious thefts targeting the highest members of society.
When Fanny offers an unexpected assist in preventing the next robbery, Julian hits upon a foolproof method to solve the case. Fanny will use her connections in society to uncover clues that will hopefully lead to the mastermind behind the thefts. In exchange for her assistance, Julian will reopen the investigation into her husband’s death. It’s an excellent plan, one that is mutually beneficial to both parties—however, neither of them anticipates the complications that arise when their unexpected attraction turns into something deeper. As the danger increases, so, too, does the risk to their hearts. Will they be able to solve the mysteries that surround them before it’s too late, or will their romance be cut short before it even begins? The fourth book in The Ladies of Roderick Glen series gives us another glimpse into the lives of the villagers as they reconcile faith with love, heartache, and the search for true happiness.
There is mystery, suspense, romance, family drama, faith, witty banter, and so much more in the wonderfully engaging page-turner!
I thoroughly enjoyed the:
Large Cast of Characters,
Christian Faith Content,
Family Dynamics,
Friendships,
Intrigue,
Clean Romance,
Heartwarming Moments, and
Humor
I am looking forward to reading the first three books in this series as we wait for the next book to be released next year! By the way, even though this is book four in the series, it works perfectly as a stand-alone.
I received an eARC of The Socialite from Kristie Self. I am not required nor was I asked to write a positive review nor am I paid to do so. The words above are my honest review of this fabulously enjoyable story!
