Sarah E. Ladd's recent book, The Thief of Lanwyn Manor, is a tale full of unknowns on every page. The year is 1818 and Julia Twethewey has traveled to Lanwyn Manor to quietly await the birth of her cousin Jane's baby, but these are not to be quiet days. Instead, Julia's time seems to be full of mysteries yet to be solved!
Julia had wanted to use this time to recover from a recent breakup; however, after she meets Matthew and Isaac Blake, her days seem to be filled up with much different activity. Her aunt wants her to make a match with Matthew, the owner of the copper mine, Wheal Tamsen; however, Julia's heart is drawn toward Isaac!
Isaac, as the second son, does not have access to the wealth of the family, but he has gained much knowledge concerning the operation of the mine. He hopes to one day have the operation of his own mine. Until that day arrives, Isaac will faithfully assist his brother. When expensive items are found to be missing at Lanwyn Manor, Julia's aunt places the blame on her. When Isaac and Julia try to discover who the real culprit is behind these thefts, you will not believe what they discover!
I received this book from Thomas Nelson through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
