Katherine Schneider's workaday life as a dentist in 1913 New
York is upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the
influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help from
the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has long admired
from afar.
Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings toward
Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark history is
something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the line, he works
alongside her through the nights as they unravel the criminal conspiracy that
threatens her. And throughout it all, Jonathan fears what will happen should
Katherine ever learn his deepest secrets.
Join award-winning author Elizabeth Camden for a
sweeping and romantic adventure of dangerous secrets and wounded hearts
fighting to overcome the darkness while the rest of the city sleeps.
My
Thoughts:
While
the City Sleeps by Elizabeth Camden features the
world of the Italian, Mafia's, dentists, and the New York Police force. Camden
crafted a historical story with a mystery. Bombings are going off all over New
York City. Sparks are flying between the heroine and hero. Both of them
question their feelings for each and question the reality of what matters most
in their lives. I love how Camden brings the history of every story that she
writes to life. While I may not be familiar with the historical tidbits she
composes in her stories, she does a wonderful job at inviting the readers into
the story and allowing them to travel with the heroine and hero. This story is
unique and unpredictable. As for the bad people, Camden does a wonderful job at
keeping their identity secret from the characters and from the readers. I love
the setting of New York City. I loved learning more about the Martha Washington
Hotel and the importance that it carries for the women of the early twentieth
century. Overall, While the City Sleeps
by Elizabeth Camden is a delightful, yet fascinating historical that I loved
spending time with.
I received a complimentary copy of While the City Sleeps by Elizabeth
Camden from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
