Book Summary
Once London’s top thief, Barclay Pearce has turned his back on his life of crime and now uses his skills for a nation at war. But not until he rescues a clockmaker’s daughter from a mugging does he begin to wonder what his future might hold. Evelina Manning has constantly fought for independence but she certainly never meant for it to inspire her fiancé to end the engagement and enlist in the army. When the intriguing man who saved her returns to the Manning residence to study clockwork repair with her father, she can’t help being interested. But she soon learns that nothing with Barclay Pearce is as simple as it seems. As 1915 England plunges ever deeper into war, the work of an ingenious clockmaker may give England an unbeatable military edge—and Germany realizes it as well. Evelina’s father soon finds his whole family in danger—and it may just take a reformed thief to steal the time they need to escape it.
My Review
An Hour Unspent is the third and final book in the Shadows Over England series.
It's pretty evident with Roseanna's very detailed descriptions
and obviously many hours of research she loves what she does.
By this I mean she loves to research her books and writing them for us
and her quality of work really reflects this.
You better believe I felt as if I was there in the early 1910's in England. Barclay,
it's so exciting to see him get his own story now,
it was everything I had hoped it would be and more!
Of the siblings he is my favorite. As you read this book you an just feel it
humming with energy through the well developed story line,the many twists and turns.
I really enjoyed seeing the character development as well. Barclay is a sweetie in this book,
older protective brother but yet keeps his siblings in line as well. I am really hoping to see some of the siblings have their own story, maybe even a novella would be great.
I enjoyed all the action happening in this story and the suspense. I kept me reading but I am sad now that it is over. Isn't that how great books works, you want to race to the end devouring
the great book but are sad it's ending. I highly recommend the whole series!
