London, 1679
Isabel,
Lady Wilde, mistress of King Charles II, has made a good living
disguised as fortune teller Mistress Ruby, counseling London's elite.
But after the murder of one of her customers, business has taken a
downturn, and Isabel is on the verge of accepting the king's offer to
move into the palace.
Isabel's
plans are interrupted when a beggar girl named Susanna shows up at her
home, claiming to be her niece. Isabel always believed that her older
brother, Adam, died alone during the plague. When Susanna reveals that
Adam was actually murdered, Isabel is compelled to take up an impossible
task: discover the truth about her brother's death, twelve years after
it happened.
Isabel's
investigation leads her through the gamut of London society, from
bear-baiting matches and brothels to the realm of wealthy bankers. But
as she uncovers her brother's dark secrets, Isabel begins to wonder
whether the past is better left buried, especially when uncovering the
truth could lead to her own funeral.
My Review:
Received for an honest review
Five Stars
The
second book in the Mistress of Fortune series, Mistress of Lies picks
up where Mistress of Fortune left off. I really enjoyed Mistress of
Fortune and equally enjoyed Mistress of Lies. West's writing is so
engaging and her storytelling so alluring. She picks the delicious
details and really knows how to capture my imagination. I highly
recommend and really enjoyed this fantastic book. When Lady Wilde is
approached by her "niece" Susanna she can't help but become involved in
the search for the truth, what really happened to her brother. The
twist and turns were unexpected and added to the intrigue of the story.
Susanna was also a very interesting character. Anyone that loves
romance, history and intrigue will enjoy this book!
