The Fourteenth Letter
The Fourteenth Letter | Claire Evans
10 posts | 6 read | 14 to read
A mysterious keepsake, a murdered bride, a legacy of secrets... One balmy June evening in 1881, Phoebe Stanbury stands before the guests at her engagement party: this is her moment, when she will join the renowned Raycraft family and ascend to polite society. As she takes her fianc?'s hand, a stranger brandishing a knife steps forward and ends the poor girl's life. Amid the tumult, he turns to her aristocratic groom and mouths: 'I promised I would save you.' The following morning, just a few miles away, timid young legal clerk William Lamb meets a reclusive client, whom he was never meant to meet. He finds the old man terrified and in desperate need of aid: William must keep safe a small casket of yellowing papers, and deliver an enigmatic message: The Finder knows. With its labyrinth of unfolding secrets, Claire Evans' riveting debut will be adored by fans of Kate Mosse, Carlos Ruiz Zafon and Jessie Burton.

Breeding from the blood line of Alexander the Great with the idea to produce a perfect family of people and the disposal of those who are not, such is the bases of this novel. While the idea for a story is a good one, page after page of thoughts and discussions from the hero and friends prolong the outcome. Too regular are the times when something rescues a hopeless situation just so those involved can be rescued yet again in the next chapter.

The wake up call will be soon, but it was impossible to stop the reading!
It's a very clever book, beautifully written!
I didn't get the point immediatly, but in the end everything is clear and it's impressive and even terrifying at the same time.
Such a good book!

JazzFeathers Che bel libro! Di cosa parla? (Anche se lo comprerei solo per la copertina). 4y
Ast_Arslan @JazzFeathers la quarta di copertina parla di una festa di fidanzamento interrotta da un misterioso uomo nudo che uccide la futura sposa. Di seguito, si fa menzione di segreti, sette e oscure macchinazioni nella Londra vittoriana... la mia sintesi lascia a desiderare, ma spero davvero che il libro mantenga tutto ciò che promette la trama 😍 4y
JazzFeathers Oh wow! Potrebbe essere davvero bello e originale, oppure una gran delusione. Ma spero la prima, perché sembra davvero promettente. 4y
Ast_Arslan Idem! Ho idea che o sarà un capolavoro o una delusione totale, non ci vedo la via di mezzo in questo caso 😅 ti lascio il link alla trama completa su google books 😉 https://books.google.it/books/about/La_quattordicesima_lettera.html?id=Lv3oDwAAQ... 4y
Ast_Arslan P.S. anche per me la copertina è perfezione pura 4y

This wasn't on any of my book lists but I spotted it on book depository and thought it sounded interesting. The cover is nice and it is in hardback which I hadn't realised! #books #bookcover #bookcrazy #tbr #lovetoread #bookmad #bookaddict
