Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I have a gripping historical read for you this week with Jocelyn Green’s new release Veiled in Smoke. It’s emotionally engaging and delivers a mystery that twists and turns, so don’t miss out!
About the Book
The sisters become separated from their father and make a harrowing escape from the flames with the help of Chicago Tribune reporter Nate Pierce. Once the smoke clears away, they reunite with Stephen, only to learn soon after that their family friend was murdered on the night of the fire. Even more shocking, Stephen is charged with the crime and committed to the Cook County Insane Asylum.
Though homeless and suddenly unemployed, Meg must not only gather the pieces of her shattered life, but prove her father’s innocence before the asylum truly drives him mad.
