Midnight on the River Grey Blog Tour with Giveaway

Midnight on the river grey FB banner

Abigail Wilson returns to Regency England with another tale of murder, mystery, and romance.

Midnight on the River GreyAfter her elder brother’s mysterious death, Rebecca Hunter vows to expose the man she believes responsible-Mr. Lewis Browning-known by the locals as the Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian. He alone was on the bridge that fateful night and openly admits striking her brother with his horse, but he claims he remembers little else.


Summoned to his reclusive country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans her own secret investigation. Yet, Lewis Browning is not as she once imagined, and his motivation is horribly unclear. Recurrent nightmares and Rebecca’s restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of her mother’s prior descent into madness and whether she too will follow the same heartbreaking path.
Even as midnight rides, strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Lewis, Rebecca can’t ignore the subtle turn of her heart. Has she developed feelings for the man she swore to see hanged? And moreover, can she trust him with her uncertain future?

My Take:
This book started out pretty interesting, but I had a bit of a hard time following what was happening. It kept my interest, however, there were a lot of characters and things happening that for  a while just didn't make sense or add up. 

It kind of follows a similar romantic pattern to her previous book, A Shadow in Croft Towers. In both books, the main characters  are attracted to men who seem to have different personalities, and they don't know whether to trust them or not because of all the secrets. In this book,  Rebecca is attracted to, but doesn't exactly trust Lewis, who may somehow be responsible for her brother's death. And yet, she also can't seem to resist him and part of her wants to believe he is upstanding. You'll have to read to see whether he is or not. 

It was past the halfway mark in the book before, I began to be able to put the pieces together and the who's, who and how that all affects the story. However, even though a bit of a challenge to read, the author still kept me interested in the plot. Rebecca at times felt just a little ditsy on figuring things out. Maybe she just wanted to trust people, but there was quite a bit to be suspicious about that she seemed to overlook. I was able to relate to all the different thoughts that were going through her mind though, questioning people and circumstances, and trying to make sense of things. 

I was blessed with this book courtesy of Celebrate Lit Bloggers. I was not asked or required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
