The Red Cottage by Hannah Linder - A Book Review

    

The Red Cottage has a Regency Cornwall setting, a sometimes brooding Scottish hero, a damsel in distress with two handsome men vying for her hand, and unknown assailants. Well disguised clues and red herrings abound. Author Hannah Linder has readers in the palm of her hand until the very end, an ending that is not rushed and completely satisfies. The themes of true love, resilience, and forgiveness versus retribution are well written into this dramatic tale.

Never Forgotten by Hannah Linder - A Book Review

  

Romantic suspense set in the Regency Era is Hannah Linder's specialty, and Never Forgotten is a wonderful example of her expertise in this genre. Not only does the story build sympathy for Simon Faircourt and his children for the loss of his wife and their mother, and for Georgina Whitmore and her many losses, but also for Alexander Oswald even when it isn't clear if he is a good guy or a bad guy, something that is not soon revealed. There are several key questions that arise in this story, and the pursuit of an answer will become the reader's passion as Linder tosses one surprise after another at them.

Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder - A Book Review

  

While Hannah Linder is relatively new on the Christian fiction writing scene, her work reads like that of an experienced writer. In Beneath His Silence Linder develops her characters through dialogue, actions, and reflections on their past. We see great depths of loyalty, integrity, and mental anguish as we enter the lives of those above and below stairs in this Regency England drama. Themes of forgiveness, faith, and surrendering to God are expertly woven into the story. Tension holds the story together, and keeps the reader engaged as the story reaches a dramatic climax. The ending is quite satisfying.

I am grateful for having been introduced to a new-to-me author and for receiving a complimentary copy of Beneath His Silence from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
