I just finished A Mercy Falls novel by Colleen Coble called The Lightkeeper's Ball. Socialite Olivia Stewart is an heiress in New York City at the turn of the century who finds herself in a difficult situation. Her father has recently been killed, and her older sister has died under suspicious circumstances across the country in California where she was to marry Harrison Bennett, one of the wealthiest men in America. She needs an advantageous marriage to keep her and her mother living well, but she also wants to find out what happened to her sister. She leaves the city under the guise of her English title, Lady Devonworth, to learn more about Harrison and the cause of her sister's death. What begins as a scheme to solve this mystery turns into an exciting novel full of drama, suspense, mystery, twists, and romance.
I very much enjoyed reading this novel and was truly surprised by some of the twists Coble threw into the story. I haven't read the other two titles in the Mercy Falls series, The Lightkeeper's Daughter and The Lightkeeper's Bride, but I am interested in giving them a chance.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
