Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder

Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder is her debut book, and it is fabulous! I confess I stayed up late to find out what happened, and I have no regrets! Our heroine, Ella Pemberton, disguises herself as a governess to enter the estate of her late sister’s husband to find out the truth about her death. Lord Sedgewick is a man who hates himself and most of the world around him, but he loves his son dearly.

This was a Regency story that delighted me! It has the mystery, the seaside, the troubled brooding hero, the lovely heroine, and a thoughtful redemptive story. The author weaves beautiful truths through the pages of the story and I was drawn in. The characters were well thought out and relatable, the seaside setting was lovely, and I enjoyed trying to guess the mystery. A satisfying read.

I enjoyed the themes of redemption, figuring out what matters to you, and remembering to look beyond the surface of people we know. This was well written and I look forward to seeing what the author publishes in the future. She is a wonderful voice to add to the faith based Regency romance world. I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
