Blog Tour: Whispered Truth by M.M. Hall


Historical Mystery
Date Published: 3/31/13

In 1911, England hovers on the cusp of change. A new king waits to be crowned. Women and the poor are fighting for their rights. Political turmoil rages throughout Europe. And a promising young artist lies dead in the heart of London.

Just another tragic death in a city filled with untimely demises. Or so thinks Hargreaves, the gifted, but troubled, Detective Inspector called in to investigate. Haunted by the tragedy of his own past, he is unprepared for the onslaught of long-buried memories and powerful emotions the case brings. Making his task even more difficult is the troubling presence of Daisy Cartwright, a wealthy widow closely connected to the victim, and a woman he feels inexplicably drawn to.

Untangling the tightly woven threads connecting the victim and the suspects, Hargreaves soon reaches a conclusion, only to have that theory shattered by the revelation that everything he has been led to believe is a lie. Groping through the silence and secrets, he uncovers a cold-blooded killer, and a connection to his own past that leaves him reeling.

My Review:
I really loved the fact that the characters in this story are so well developed. This being a first in the series, it can often times be inundated with past information to get readers caught up, but M.M. Hall has done a great job of brining us up to speed with just enough information without bogging down the plot. 

This book definitely appeals to those who have an interest in historical mystery, but anyone who just loves a great mystery in general would also love it! I liked how the plot unfolded and there were enough plot twists to keep me guessing. Definitely a great start to the series.
