Unearthed Secrets

Jaipur Moon by Liz Harris is a historical novel that I enjoyed.

The book is set in India in 1934 as we follow three British families who reside there.

Secrets from 1916 that have been buried, threaten to be unearthed. Unscrupulous characters plot the downfall of others in order to preserve themselves.

There are big hearted characters who believe that family should know the truth. Secrets are a big burden to bear.

One’s character is far more important than one’s wealth. The love of money is the root of all evil and is sure to bring about a downfall.

Three eighteen-year-olds are in the market for marriage. They want to choose their own partners for love, and not have their parents influence.

Liz Harris has written a novel that explodes with vibrancy of heat and colour due to her comprehensive descriptions. The reader is also educated as we are treated to trips out to local landmarks.

Cosy Crime

The Woven Lie by Liz Harris is a light-hearted historical cosy crime novel that entertained me from the start. It is the third book in The Three Sisters series but can be read as a stand-alone.

The action takes place in a village in Suffolk in 1948 as we join a young woman who has a new job in charge of a local museum.

We witness the passion for the ancient artefacts. We also witness her naivety as she learns on the job and is far too trusting.

Greed is a terrible master. There is sure to be a downfall when greed motivates actions.

The rural setting introduces the reader to a close-knit community where not everyone is quite as they seem.

Times are changing as we move away from the war years. 1948 saw the birth of the NHS. We follow characters who are implementing those changes.
