About the Book:
Peter Driscoll, an underground investigator to
the wealthy, has never met anyone like Lily Temple. The beautiful
silent-film actress spins fairy tales and plays frivolous roles in front
of the cine-camera, but beneath the costumes and stage makeup is a
woman with a quick wit--and a murky past.
Peter has been tasked
with locating the legendary Briarwood Teardrop, an exquisite sapphire,
which Lily wears beneath her gown. In order to stay close to her and
hopefully unravel the mystery of her story--and the sapphire--Peter
employs Lily's help on a case, which leads to a useful partnership. But
as they are investigating together, Peter is also investigating Lily.
The closer he gets to the truth, the more danger they face. And the
closer he gets to Lily, the clearer it is that he needs her even more
than she needs him.
Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano
whisks you away to Edwardian England in 1903 for a whimsical and
layered tale that treads the crooked line between real and make-believe.
My Review
Peter is set to do his investigating, just like always. Lily's mystique intrigues Peter far more than anyone ever has. He is trying to locate a beautiful very expensive sapphire. He soon learns of its where-abouts. The closer he gets to this special lady that has in turn been helping him the more curious he becomes.
To say he's smitten would be an understatement. He is literally captivated by this woman. How will he ever accomplish what he has set out to do?
