Review: City of Secrets

City of Secrets by Victoria Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been enjoying Victoria Thompson's novels for several years now, and she never fails to provide an exceptional piece of writing. In this series, we are introduced to a young woman, raised by her father who taught her the fine art of grifting. With the help of her fiance who is an upstanding gentleman that prides himself on his honesty must learn to make exceptions to solve the murder and theft of a widows lives savings. Victoria Thompson has developed good solid characters that are genuinely everyday heroes and some dastardly villains that deserve their final punishments. With her vast knowledge of the historical facts during the early 1900th century, she sets the scene with historical events. Always a pleasure to read her books.
