Secrets in the Mist | Anna Lee Huber
19 posts | 7 read | 13 to read
In this spellbinding novel of romantic suspense, written in the tradition of Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt, the bestselling author of As Death Draws Near plunges readers into a world of secrets and deception hidden amongst the mist. England 1812. Since the death of her mother and brother, Ella Winterton's life has been consumed by keeping her drunkard father out of trouble and the roof of their crumbling cottage over their heads. But even isolated deep in the Norfolk broads, Ella has never been afraid of the marshes surrounding her home, despite their being riddled with treacherous bogs and local smugglers. Until one night a man masquerading as a Lantern Man--a frightening figure of local legend--waylays her in the marshes near her home, and her world suddenly begins to spiral out of control. Ella can tell her friends and the local villagers are all hiding something terrible, something they refuse to share, and she can't help but wonder if it has to do with the Lantern Man and his secret activities in the shadows of the seemingly quiet broads. But when Ella's father is caught with smuggled brandy by the authorities and levied a crippling fine, she is forced to turn to the stranger for help, despite her distrust and his alarming ability to kiss her senseless. Now she must unravel a twisted trail of deception and secrets, and uncover once and for all whether the Lantern Man is friend or foe. Or else risk being dragged down into the marshes, like the victims from the myth, and buried in a watery grave.

It's set where I live which is awesome! Dark and gothic world building. Like the plot and mix of mystery + smuggling. Romance was good + mysterious, Lantern Man/ Jack was so swoon worthy. Ella was a good character, I related to her a lot. Liked the myth and historical aspects. The way Ella's alcoholic father was written was so sad and well written. I liked the ending and plot twists, though slightly predictable. Also liked how it's all wrapped up.

Just gone and bought this book, so excited to receive it, especially as it's set where I live, however it's based in the 1800s!

1. Singing, cooking, nature walks to take photos. I‘d like to learn more about photography, but I‘m too cheap to buy a good camet😂
2. Historical fiction; but my reading is all over the place
3. Not now. Former greyhound mom
4. Mostly. Probably needs some cleaning.
5. Cookbooks
6. My 4 yo grandson is going to help me make risotto for dinner. Should be interesting!

#AndItsAugust #hairthereandeverywhere. This was a tough prompt for me! Part of the reason I chose this book is because, with my curly hair, I used to long for the perfect straight hair on this cover. I came to love my curls, but you don't often see curls on historical fiction covers.

robinb What did you think of this book? I love her Lady Darby and Verity Kent! 7y
ReadingEnvy Ah and all us long and straights long for curls.... 7y
Lynnsoprano @robinb I enjoyed it very much! I'm jealous that you've already read Verity Kent. I've entered every ARC giveaway I could find for that one, but no luck yet. 7y
robinb @Lynnsoprano this one's on my list just haven't got to it yet. I can't believe I snagged an ARC either! Just lucky for a change. 😉 I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see where she goes with it! 7y

The only two autographed books I have I won in author giveaways. I'm a huge Huber fan, and I've participated in most of her online release parties. That's where I snagged both of these. I have to admit that I haven't read the other book yet, but I'd already read Secrets in the Mist on my Kindle when I won this copy. #readJanuary #signed

I love author giveaways, even though I rarely win. But this time I hit the jackpot! At the author's online release party for this book last week, I won the best prize package: an autographed copy of the book, a soft, fleecy throw, and a Starbucks gift card. Score!

Merethebookgal Very cool! 7y
Bookzombie Awesome!!! 7y
Cinfhen Yay! That was definitely a win 💞 7y

I was really curious about this book, since it's the first the author has written outside her Lady Darby series. Really enjoyed it. Excellent characters, a unique setting, and twisting plot made this a page turner.

After an early morning visit to the doctor and fasting blood work, a stop for a late breakfast, just me and my Kindle.

Release day for Huber's first book of her new series, and it was on my Kindle this morning. Only a chapter and a half in, and I'm really hooked. 😄
