About this book:
“Two
Series of Murders Seem Mysteriously Connected
Step into True Colors -- a series of
Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime
Could a series of murders in London in
1889 be related to unsolved murders in Austin, Texas, 1884? Queen Victoria
wants to know and asks her granddaughter—who left the queen’s good graces by
going off to America to become a Pinkerton agent—to quietly look for any
connection. The catch is the queen doesn’t want her to do it alone. Alice Anne
must find her former Pinkerton agent partner—now an attorney in Austin—and
enlist him in the hunt. As the pair get closer to finding their suspect, their
lives become endanger”

My
personal Rating- 
I didn’t necessarily really like
or dislike the romance of this story, but I found the historical facts and the
author’s note very interesting. I think I noticed more about that then their
romance/relationship. As for the content of the serial killer, I wouldn’t
consider it gruesome unless you have an active imagination. Or you look up
pictures of the victims (I highly discourage doing this even if you have a
strong stomach). This was an easier read because of the short length and it was
fun that it was set around Christmas during part of the book.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
