Secrets revealed on Mackinac Island
Published by Anne Rightler , 3 years ago
Behind Love's Wall, by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Fancett Pagels, is part of the Doors to the Past series which I have been enjoying. Pagels blends two of my favorite genres, historical fiction and mystery, and sets this dual timeline story on the wonderfully beautiful (I might be a bit biased, being a Michigander!) Mackinac Island. The author does a great job of portraying the essence of both eras and the beauty and dignity of the Grand Hotel. One can picture in the mind's eye the setting and the activities going on. The characters, especially Willa and Lily, two young women from a century apart, are realistic and likable. Mystery, danger, and long-held secrets are woven together to bring some pretty tangled webs that kept this reader guessing as to what is happening. "Who would have known that we have so much detective work going on at the Grand?" Readers who enjoy charming and entertaining stories will not want to miss Behind Love's Wall.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
