1906Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn't favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles into the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage's former occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished.
Oliver Tremayne--gentleman and clergyman--is determined to discover what happened to his sister, and he's happy to accept the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage . . . especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can't quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.
As Libby and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.
My thoughts:
I have read several
novels penned by Ms. White, have loved all of them, but I have to say this one
quickly became a favorite. The setting was
one I was unfamiliar with, not that it mattered, because through the descriptive
writing, I could easily imagine the beauty of the Isles of Scilly.
With a delightful
cast of characters, a touch of mystery, romance and likable characters, this is
a book you will definitely want to read.
I received a complimentary
copy of this book from the publisher.
All opinions are my own.
