1926: A year has passed since the events of “A Poisonous Journey” and
Lady Evelyn has made a home for herself in Greece, living with her
cousin, Briony, her husband, Jeffrey and Daniel Harper. Disturbing this
island idyll is a letter, which arrives from France with troubling
information about the Daniel’s long-believed-dead brother, Henry. A new
journey awaits! With the shadows of the Great War reaching out, Lady
Evelyn and Daniel voyage to Amiens in Northern France with the aim of
discovering the truth behind the ominous letter. Upon their arrival,
they are met not with clarity but rather with crime. Murder, to be
precise. Is it linked to their presence in France, or even worse, to

MY THOUGHTS
MURDER!
Murder seems to follow Lady Evelyn everywhere she goes. Even though the plot is murder, the author gives the reader much to enjoy, that is entertaining and much to put the mind to work trying to solve the crime (crimes). The year is 1926, being a year since Lady Evelyn went to Greece to live with her cousin, Briony, her husband, Jeffrey and Daniel Harper. A year has passed since the events of "A Poisonous Journey". Everything seems to be going great until..... A letter arrives from France about Daniel's brother, Henry, who has been dead for years. What does this mysterious letter have to do with Henry? Just about the time you think you have solved the mystery, the page turns.... and your theory falls apart. Evelyn and Daniel take off to France in search of answers but when they arrive, more questions arrive. They haven't even had a chance to look into the mysterious letter when they are faced with another murder. Will Daniel and Lady Evelyn be able to solve the mysteries? Will the murderer be stopped before another victim is taken? The author gives you much to think about while you are being entertained. She gives such vivid descriptions of the settings that you can picture them in your eyes. Lady Evelyn seems to have a shadow of murder that follows her where ever she goes. The reader is kept in suspense until the end. The end leaves you wanting to know what will be next on Lady Evelyn's journeys. What murder will take place next? From "A Poisonous Journey" to "A Darker Shore" the author delights with vivid scenery, detailed characters and action packed mysteries. What will the next book bring? Will the shadow come forth and another murder committed?
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and PUYB and voluntarily decided to review it.
