Fall is coming, and it's getting to be that time of year when it's great to curl up with a blanket, a cuppa, and a good book. What's better in the autumn than a good Victorian gothic mystery? Not much! Michelle Griep is out with a new novel, Of Silver and Secrets, and it's a great one to add to your TBR. She is such a great interview, and we had a fabulous time chatting about this latest release. There's even something special in store for patrons.
Of Silver and Secrets by Michelle Griep
Buried underneath are truths bent on keeping them apart. . . .
In 1889 Victorian England, Eva Inman is haunted by guilt over her parents' deaths while struggling to care for her blind sister and manage her family's crumbling estate. With the tax deadline looming, Eva's situation looks dire until an ancient silver ring is unearthed on the property. Despite superstitions warning against disturbing the supposedly cursed acres, Eva's need for funds ignites her curiosity about the potential of finding more buried relics.
Cambridge professor Bram Webb must prove a legendary Christian Roman settlement exists, or he'll risk exposing his uncle's deteriorating memory and they'll both lose their positions. Then Eva steps into his office with the prospect of an archaeological dig that might lead to the very evidence Bram requires--provided he and Eva can set aside painful memories of a time they would rather forget. As the dig forces the two to confront their pasts, the work becomes fraught with challenges that threaten Eva's and Bram's hopes, as well as the growing attraction between them.
"Sure to delight fans of archaeological adventure and historical romance."--JULIE KLASSEN, bestselling author
