All is not what it seems at the glamorous Sloane House. Rosalind Perry is thrust into a world of servants who are nothing more than those who do their employer's bidding. Rosalind's beloved sister, Miranda, who was in the employ of the family is missing. Now it's Rosalind's mission to find her. Driven by her disappearance, Rosalind has the strength of character to stay when things become unbearable at the house, to keep searching, to keep asking questions that could end disastrously for her that makes the story suspenseful.
With the help of Reid Armstrong who is Douglas Sloane's friend, Rosalind discovers the truth. Courageously confronting powerful, ruthless people, Rosalind stays true to herself and her convictions to find justice for Miranda. With a surprising and rewarding conclusion, I was glad to see Rosalind find answers for her family and find happiness for herself. I look forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy.
About the Book:
One woman's search for the truth of her sister's disappearance leads her to deceit and danger in 1893 Chicago.
Rosalind Perry has left her family's rural farm in Wisconsin to work as a housemaid at Sloane House, one of the most elegant mansions in Gilded Age Chicago. However, Rosalind is not there just to earn a living and support her family-she's at Sloane House determined to discover the truth about her sister's mysterious disappearance.
Reid Armstrong is the handsome heir to a silver fortune. However, his family is on the periphery of Chicago's elite because their wealth comes from "new money" obtained from successful mining. Marriage to Veronica Sloane would secure his family's position in society-the lifelong dream of his ailing father.
When Reid begins to realize that Rosalind's life may be in danger, he stops thinking of marriage prospects and concentrates on helping Rosalind. Dark things are afoot in Chicago and, he fears, in Sloane House. If he's not vigilant, Rosalind could pay the price.
Set against the backdrop of Chicago's Gilded Age and the 1893 World's Fair, Secrets of Sloane House takes us on a whirlwind journey of romance and mystery.
