Joanna Politano's second novel, A Rumored Fortune is even better than her first, Lady Jane Disappears. I love the gothic setting and the castle. Tressa's staff is loyal, but it is hard to tell who else is. Everyone has a motive for finding the fortune that her father is rumored to have. Joanna is quickly earning her way onto my keeper shelf. So grab a strong mug of tea and curl up for a great read.
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune--before someone else finds it first.
Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.
