Investigators Prudence MacKenzie and ex-Pinkerton Geoffrey Hunter discover all that glitters is not gold in the Gilded Age, whether on the island of Manhattan or an island off the coast of Georgia ... DEATH BRINGS A SHADOW In spring 1889, Prudence and Geoffrey set sail from New York Harbor on a private yacht bound for Bradford Island, where her friend Eleanor Dickson is to be wed. The Sea Islands along the Georgia coast serve as a winter playground for the likes of the Carnegies, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Dicksons. Despite her Yankee pedigree, Eleanor is marrying a Southern gentleman, Teddy Bennett, and Prudence is thrilled to be the maid of honor. But days before the wedding, the bride is nowhere to be found. A frantic search of the island turns up her drowned corpse in an alligator-infested swamp. Prudence is devastated, but as they prepare the body for burial, she and Geoffrey discover evidence of bruising that indicates Eleanor was held undermost dishonorably murdered. Determined to seek justice for her beloved friend, Prudence begins to investigate with Geoffrey's help and is quickly led into a morass of voodoo spells and dark deeds from the days of slavery. As Prudence and Geoffrey pursue a killer, they soon discover that Eleanor will not be the last to die on Bradford Island ...

I missed the release in November and devoured this book yesterday into today. Thanks to @Librarybelle for introducing me to this favorite author/series last January! This one takes place in Georgia but the mystery and crime is just as dark and the stark reality of the dark side of history just as present. #historicalfictionmystery

Crazeedi I've read the first ones, but I guess I missed this one too! Thanks for posting! 4y
Librarybelle I have to get back to this series! So glad you‘re enjoying these! 4y

The setting for this series in this 4th installment moves from Manhattan to a small coastal sea island (fictitious Bradford Island) in Georgia, 1889. Prudence & Geoffrey have travelled there for her best friend‘s wedding when tragedy strikes (and a murderer continues to strike). This story explores the history of the two landowners, the Bennetts & the Dicksons and how that history has shaped the wedding couple‘s lives. Prudence gets a lesson in ⬇️

robinb post-war southern attitudes about slavery as she & Geoffrey struggle to untangle how past sins have affected the present. It‘s a fairly tangled plot, and was actually more emotional for me than her previous books. We also begin to get a glimpse into Geoffrey‘s conflict over his family‘s southern background as well. I simply love this series. 4/5⭐️ Out 11/26. #KensingtonBooks #NetGalley 5y
