about the book
The White City by Grace Hitchcock (True Colors)
Mysterious Disappearances Taint the Chicago World’s Fair
Step into True Colors — a new series of Histoarical Stories of Romance and American CrimeWhile attending the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City.
Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.
Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes’s illicit activity, or will Winnifred become his next victim?

my thoughts
As one of my highly anticipated early 2019 reads, I’ve been looking forward to this book for quite some time and it was worth the wait! Delightful banter kept the mood light without detracting from the heart-pumping action and mind-bending mystery! The head-strong unconventional heroine is perfectly paired with a simply wonderful (no spoiler) hero!
Winnifred’s personality doesn’t quite fit in the figurative glass tower her well-meaning father would like to hide her away in. Despite their differing opinions, it’s clear that the father/daughter duo is wrapped up in a tangle of grief and expectations. Winnifred’s spunk and intelligence serve her well and she’s definitely a character I’d love to revisit from time to time. Too bad she’s fictional, I’d enjoy swapping book recommendations with a fellow avid reader like her!
Fans of Mary Connealy, Jen Turano, or Regina Jennings will especially enjoy this story’s light-hearted vibe and action-packed plot. I highly recommend this book and look forward to future works from this author!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions expressed are my own.
