i really enjoy books set at the turn of the twentieth century. it was such an interesting time period, not just due to historical events, but culturally the world was changing. and the increased interest in the spirit world, is reflective of a world that was drastically shifting and yet trying to still hold onto the past. this is the second book in the change of fortune series, and i kind of wish i had read whispers beyond the veil first. not because whispers of warning can't stand alone, because it does, but because i would have liked to pick up ruby's story from the beginning.
the plot in whispers of warning revolves around the suffrage movement and when ruby's new mentor is killed, ruby can't stop herself from investigating the murder. i really enjoy these stories for the heroines with modern sensibilities navigating the world that seeks to silence their briliance. i love that they can overcome the constraints society places on them. i love the relationships they form with people of all walks of life. you get such a feel for the era, even though modern attitudes suffuse the narrative. if you like the veronica speedwell mysteries, you will like this series too.
**whispers of warning will publish on september 19, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of penguin's first to read program in exchange for my honest review.
