With great risks, come great rewards. This is the theme of Roseanna White's A Name Unknown. I think this is my favorite of all of Ms. White's novels. Miss Rosemary Gresham is a thief, a very good thief and she has been hired by the mysterious Mr.V to steal information on Mr. Peter Holstein, to prove he is a traitor. Ms. White weaves a wonderful tale of intrigue with a bit of romance tossed in for fun. I can't wait to see what misadventures Rosemary's family will have in future tales in the Shadows Over England novels.
From Amazon:
Edwardian Romance and History Gains a Twist of Suspense
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they concentrate on stealing high-value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How does one steal a family's history, their very name?
Peter Holstein, given his family's German blood, writes his popular series of adventure novels under a pen name. With European politics boiling and his own neighbors suspicious of him, Peter debates whether it might be best to change his name for good. When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family history, his question might be answered.
But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late to help him prove that he's more than his name?
About the author:
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna has a slew of historical novels available, ranging from biblical fiction to American-set romances to her new British series. She lives with her family in West Virginia.
I was given this book by the publisher for review purposes. All thoughts are my own.
