I blinked a few times and took a deep breath. Apparently Id survived. Opening lines of Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson Set in 1815, Abigail Wilson opens Masquerade At Middlecrest Abbey with a dramatic carriage robbery. Our leading lady, Elizabeth, agrees to marry Lord Torrington mere hours after meeting him in order to protect him and Britain. She doesnt realise she is putting the lives of herself and her son in danger in doing so. Lord Torrington is ferreting our French spies and thinks of the marriage as a cover for his identity unaware of danger lurking at home in Middlecrest Abbey. Suspicious, dangerous and deadly happenings follow them and soon they fear for all their lives as they realise it has to be someone in their midst! The characters suspense is held right until the end of the book when the true villain is finally revealed! I found the first quarter of the book a little slow but a masquerade marriage is one of my least favourite tropes, I just cant resist an Abigail Wilson book! Once the mystery was fully fledged, the pace picked up and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Her characters are carefully created with interesting histories which makes the reading all the more enjoyable. If you love historical romance, this is one for you! Its a four out of five on the enJOYment scale.
I thoroughly enjoyed the explosive start to this novel, it is both engaging and intriguing. I also appreciated the understanding of the historical perspective and the way the author leveraged it in the storyline. Sadly, I found the latter part of the book a little less rewarding and had managed to work out the force behind the murder ahead of time, which took a little of the pleasure out of the reading. I'm sure that there are many who enjoy Regency, murder mysteries that will thoroughly enjoy this storyline! With thanks to #Netgalley, Thomas Nelson and the author for my Advanced Reader Copy. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.
