Elaine B, Reviewer
What a brilliant start to a new series this proved to be
Set in the past with intrigue and mystery.
One which empowers a young lady to help others
By discreetly seeking and sharing what she discovers.
In June 1930 Miss Atalanta Ashford had news
That totally changed her life and her views.
Her grandfather had sadly passed away
But sent her a letter with much to say.
She now has a fortune, homes and a challenge, too,
Endeavouring to continue his secret sleuthing to do!
As she arrives at her new Parisian home she discovers
Her first case is waiting - there will be others!
A bride-to-be has had a letter that has her perplexed
Concerning her groom-to-be - it has her vexed.
Is the content the truth she needs to know
So with her Atalanta decides to go.
Get ready for intrigue, surprises and mystery
As Atalanta delves into the family history.
There's also a ward, who seems to dislike all
And other folks who are also coming to call.
There are murders, secrets and so much more
Even the possibility of romance, someone to adore?
But danger permeates the whole estate
To reveal the perpetrator Atalanta just can't wait!
This is the first book in a series of four
Now I can't wait to read some more!
For my complementary copy of this book, I say thank you,
I throughly enjoyed reading it and this is my honest review.
