​This book is part of the Canadian Historical Mysteries published by Canadian publisher BWL Publishing, and is set in 1918 in Calgary, Alberta. The author did her research, and the book is well written. I enjoyed the historical details including references to the Great War, the Spanish Influenza pandemic and the early days of prohibition. The characters are convincing, in particular Detective Tanner, and the reader is kept guessing until the end as to who committed the murders.

This book is based on a true story and includes actual events. The heroine is Isabel Bilton, an army officer’s daughter, who goes to London to seek a career performing on stage. She is joined by her sister Flo and the two sisters become a sensation. Ms. O’Connor has definitely done her research and I loved the description of Belle’s life, and life in general, in late 19th C London. The author has a lovely way with words, with wonderful descriptive passages and unique word usage. I also enjoyed the author’s note at the end summarizing what happened to the main characters in real life.

However, despite my admiration of O’Connor’s ability, the pacing was dreadfully slow, with superfluous scenes and dialogue and I found myself skipping through page after page. Having said that, I get that the author had to work in actual events which would limit her ability somewhat to advance the plot so perhaps the slow pace is something that wouldn’t bother another reader.

The story is well written and the prose is lovely. Ie “She jerked a rack of wicks to her chest. They dangled a dance around her.” The book is full of historical detail and is sure to please any historical fiction/romance fan.

Secrets and misunderstandings abound in this delightful Regency romance and the characters are charming and well thought out. What I particularly enjoyed about this engaging, well written book is Ms. Morris’ attention to historical detail which transports the reader to another era.

​University student Sophie Grant leads a quiet life until she meets handsome auto shop employee Brandon Chase and a whirlwind romance ensues. Snake Oil starts off innocently enough with a few laugh out loud one liners. However, slowly and surely the dread and tension build as the story progresses, resulting in a heart pounding climax. Suspense isn’t my normal genre but I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. This well written, entertaining story will keep you turning the pages.
