Publisher Description
For unwed mother Nell Lillington, 1876 Chicago—and her new wealth—offer the promise of longed-for independence. She dreams of a place in society for her daughter Sarah and contentment for her friend Tess. Yet how can she settle in a town where she's far too likely to run into Martin Rutherford and his glittering, faithless wife, Lucetta? Can she resist her love for Martin for Sarah's sake?
Martin was doubtless joking when he told Nell that if she got herself mixed up with a murderer for the third time, he'd disown her. But when Martin himself is arrested for murder, Nell's dreams appear to be swallowed up in the new web of secrets she constructs to help him. Secrets that threaten to alienate Tess, Sarah, and even Martin . . .
The third book in the House of Closed Doors series will take you to a Chicago teeming with opportunistic new Americans, luxury-loving merchant princes and hard-hearted denizens of the underworld.
Customer Reviews
The shadow palace
I have just finished the series ending with the shadow palace
Very well written and I believe indicative of the times, I would
not hesitate to recommend these books to anyone.
The last of the trilogy..
I really, truly enjoyed the first two books of this trilogy.
However, I found this third one quite disappointing..
Way too much drama.. even the main characters were completely transformed..
I missed the lovely slow pace, lovely descriptions of emotions of the first books.
I finished reading it, but I was tempted to give up, a few times..
