I had the priveledge to readan advanced copy of Michelle Griep's The Bird of BedfordManor. This story is a delightful mix of romance and mystery set in an old English Manor house. Juliet is a strongcharacter who grows through the bookand becomes a very self assured likeable character. I didn't care for Henry at first as he seemed a bit unsure of his role in life, however he grows throughout the story and comes into his own. The mystery kept me guessing as to who was behind all of the alleged accidents. I really enjoyde watching both Juliet and Henry rediscover their faith. This is a great book and I recommend it to all who enjoy Regency Romantic Suspense.
I was given a copy of The Bird Of Bedford Manor by NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Bedfordshire, England, 1820: Ruined by the sins of her father, Juliet Finch is cast into a life of self-reliance. Survival is a harsh taskmaster, but she is a quick learner and excels at tracking and snaring wild game to feed herself. Juliet embraces her new identity until the day Henry Russell catches her poaching on his land—a crime punishable by death. Henry, however, has other offenses on his mind: namely, the troublesome stalker who’s making a misery of his sister’s life. To try to put a stop to her torment, Henry charges Juliet with tracking the elusive villain so he can be brought to justice. Using her skills, Juliet hunts down the rogue. . .but may just become the prey herself.
Reader favorite Michelle Griep has penned yet another masterpiece with this page-turning adventure that has it all:
swoon-worthy romance
clever turn-of-phrase
colorfully memorable characters
charming British setting
About the author:
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write--except for that graffiti phase I went through as teenager.
