Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder

 

Synopsis:

Will Seeking Justice Lead to Her Own Demise?

Second daughter of a baron—and a little on the mischievous side—Ella Pemberton is no governess. But the pretense is a necessity if she ever wishes to get inside of Wyckhorn Manor and attain the truth. Exposing the man who killed her sister is all that matters.

Lord Sedgewick knows there’s blood on his hands. Lies have been conceived, then more lies, but the price of truth would be too great. All he has left now is his son—and his hatred. Yet as the charming governess invades his home, his safe cocoon of bitterness begins to tear away.

Could Ella, despite the lingering questions of his guilt, fall in love with such a man? Or is she falling prey to him—just as her dead sister?

Review:

Beneath His Silence is a fabulous Regency story with a gothic setting, a well thought mystery, some angst and suspense .

Miss Ella Pemberton wants to find out what's happened to his sister at all costs, even sneaking into the solitary manor on the cliff pretending to be a governess. Will she make Lord Sedgewick confess all his dark secrets?

I liked the characters, they are well charaterised with such strong and clashing personalities, but in the end you can follow the organic blooming of a loving feeling.

My faourite character is Ella, I adored her. She is a woman that doesn't subdue to any man, she is bold and stubborn, at times she is impulsive, but all these and many more traits made me love her and care for her.

"In her moments of greatest despair, she would return to this view. She would open her heart to the beauty, tranquility, and brightness of the endless waves."

This was Hannah Linder debut novel and for me it's a very good begin, I've enjoyed the writing style and the pace. I was shocked for the religious theme at first but my bad because I didn't have seen that this novel was listed as a Christian read.

I recommend it.
