About the Book
1906
Lady
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. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
I really loved the idea of this story line. The mystery and the location had me totally invested for the first few chapters. By the middle of the book I was wondering where this book was going and I was struggling with the characters. The last part of the story things moved along a bit and made the book a worthwhile read. The ending turned out to be a bit different from what I expected but not in a bad way. This was still an enjoyable story and a nice escape to a new place. I like that the cover is unique and it certainly catches the eye.
I know many people have loved this book and Roseanna M. White fans will enjoy it!
Three Stars.
