Welcome to Litsy!

I won this amazing novel of friendship, adventure, & courage. Betsy Hayes, a Smith College graduate, goes to Athens for an archeological excavation. Then the Greco-Turkish War in 1896 breaks out between Greece and Turkey, & Bestsy‘s life changes.
In 1898, the Spanish-American War occurs & Betsy finds herself in Cuba working with Clara Barton & the Red Cross. Her story will keep you turning the pages. #TheThursdayAuthors #LaurenWillig

Dark tale of betrayal and secrets. It's Gothic suspense at it's best. This family drama has a twisty plot and intriguing characters that keep the pages turning until the final twist. It's rich in historical detail of high society in New York in 1899. This was my first book by Lauren Willig but I definitely will be reading more of her books in the future. I would highly recommend this book to those who love suspenseful historical novels.

This #botm pick was just great: it has mystery, some surprising twists, nice back and forth between the “present” (late 1890s) and past, and some strong points of view. The English Wife might be great for readers who enjoy #katemorton.

LOVED this book! It combined so many of my favorite things and kept me guessing. I was initially unsure about 2 of the 3 POVs being in the same time (rather than 3 separate time periods), but I ended up loving that too. Everyone should look forward to its release in October!

Excited to be starting this one! So far I‘ve read one section from each POV. #ARC #BEA #laurenwillig #karenwhite #beatrizwilliams

I finally got to the top of the holds for the new #laurenwillig, and my library's ebook system goes down! I have one more day to check it out before the system removes it! I'm so mad!

This was a slow starter for me, but really good in the end! I didn‘t see that coming! Lauren Willig is a great writer and this departure from her previous works is successfully carried out. Well drawn characters, mysterious histories, and a slow and steady reveal make for a gripping who ‘dun it. #stmartinspress #laurenwillig #historicalmystery #theenglishwife #recommended
