About the author
Caro Peacock
19 books51 followersAka Gillian Linscott.
Caro Peacock grew up in a farmhouse that, for most of her childhood, contained half a dozen brothers, sisters and cousins, twice as many cats and dogs, no central heating and one bathroom that stopped working every time the spring that supplied it water silted up. This possible bred the habit of curling up in a quiet place with a book, and later, a passion for travel that led to a rather disrupted education. Somewhere along the line, she acquired a great interest in Victorian history––which she considers a much misunderstood period––and particularly the part played in it by independently minded women. Caro rides horses, climbs, trampolines and spends some time every year studying wild flowers in the Alps.

This book sort of reminds me of Nancy Drew — just a little more grown-up & set in the 1840's at the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. I also wish the main character (Liberty Lane) would've had a little romance happening during all of this. 🤷♀️ The way the ending was described, it was just bleh & bored me to pieces — it also confused me, & characters popped up during too much chaos & my brain felt scrambled. Lol -But, I'd like to read more of the "Liberty Lane" series to give it a decent chance.
