Lady Jayne Disappears is the first book I have read by Joanna Davidson Politano and I sincerely hope it won't be the last. I love the way Ms. Politano crafted her story. The element of suspense with some romance makes for an intriguing story. The characters are quite believable and well developed. Ms. Politano also wove her faith into the story without being "preachy". certainly look forward to reading more from her in the future. So grab a steamy mug of Earl Grey and settle in for a good read.
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company.
When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance--and perhaps even her father's death.
Author Joanna Davidson Politano's stunning debut set in Victorian England will delight readers with its highly original plot, lush setting, vibrant characters, and reluctant romance.
