Dreamland
Dreamland | Nancy Bilyeau
9 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
The year is 1911 when twenty-year-old heiress Peggy Batternberg is invited to spend the summer in America's Playground.The invitation to Coney Island is unwelcome. Despite hailing from one of America's richest families, Peggy would much rather spend the summer working at the Moonrise Bookstore than keeping up appearances with New York City socialites and her snobbish, controlling family.But soon it transpires that the hedonism of Coney Island affords Peggy the freedom she has been yearning for, and it's not long before she finds herself in love with a troubled pier-side artist of humble means, whom the Batternberg patriarchs would surely disapprove of. Disapprove they may, but hidden behind their pomposity lurks a web of deceit, betrayal and deadly secrets. And as bodies begin to mount up amidst the sweltering clamour of Coney Island, it seems the powerful Batternbergs can get away with anything...even murder.Extravagant, intoxicating and thumping with suspense, bestselling Nancy Bilyeau's magnificent Dreamland is a story of corruption, class and dangerous obsession.

Mehso-so

Finished Dreamland yesterday for #Roll100. It was pretty easy to guess whodunit and I felt the characters lacked depth so just a so-so for me. On the positive side it‘s another book off my kindle TBR.

PuddleJumper Yay! That's great 2y

This was way different than what I expected. But it was quite awesome in its own right.

I loved Dreamland! It‘s a fabulous read. I enjoyed the setting and era, the descriptions are very vivid. It‘s beautifully written with just the right amount of suspense. I read this book via the #Pigeonhole app and I was always eager to begin each stave. I definitely found it a page turner. An entertaining and magical historical murder mystery with some fascinating characters and an intriguing plot which I can highly recommend.

I told myself for every two kindle books I can start a new kindle book and for every two physical books finished I can start a new physical book. I finished 2 kindle books, so I‘m starting this since it will be a #BOTM choice.

I decided to take a little break from my nonfiction reads and spent my snowy day with this enticing ARC from #netgalley 💗 I loved this story set mostly in 1911's Coney Island and I loved the main character Peggy! It took some time with character development and setting up the story so it isn't an on the edge of your seat mystery/thriller but I totally felt wrapped up in the story. Pub. Date January 16, 2020

rubyslippersreads I just got this ARC (mainly because of the main character‘s name. 😊) Glad to hear it‘s good. 4y
Maude @rubyslippersreads I hope you enjoy it 😁 4y
