Historical Fiction

This is a Historical Fiction Mystery. I normally do not read historical fiction books that take place in the 1800's/early 1900's, so this book is not the normal historical fiction book that I go for. I put off reading this book for awhile because it scared me, but the storyline had me wanting to read it. I am so glad I picked this book up because I loved it so much. This book was so well written, and it took me on a great ride full of intrigue. I love the secrets that are slowly revealed throughout this book. I loved all the characters, and the two main characters are strong women that learn they really do not need a man. The cover of this book is so gorgeous and fits the storyline so well. I loved everything about this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
