True Colors: The White City (Paperback)

Great start to a new series “True Colors” and “Grace Hitchcock” debut novel. I was fascinated with the historical aspect and the romance was intertwined with the suspense. Winnifred had me talking to the book, telling her no don't do that. This author showed great balance in this story and I found it to be an enjoyable and interesting read. Afterwards I was researching the infamous H. H. Holmes. The Author's Note at the end was very enlightening and a great bonus. If you are a fan of Cozy Mysteries, Historical Romance, and/or Inspirational Reads then it will appeal to you. I look forward to reading more by this author and in this series. I received a complimentary copy from Barbour Publishing. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

I am a lover of true crime, historical fiction, suspense and romance. I mean a huge lover of all of them. So, when I saw that this was the best of all of those worlds, I was ecstatic. This is a debut novel from Grace Hitchcock and let me tell you what. The detail she includes in this story, made me feel like I was right there in the center of the World's Fair, following these awesome characters, and reaching an ending that left me wanting another story just like it. Winnie and Jude's characters are wonderful! I loved them so good. The detail with which Hitchcock created the scenes that Winnie saw, and went through, and how Jude fell for her, was awesome. I felt like I became Winnie and fell for Jude instantly. Jude was a sweet soul and Winnie was absolutely full of spunk and sass! The real life serial killer aspect woven into the story was incredible. I had no idea about that time period having someone like that, and it really made the story that much more captivating. The twists and turns of the roller coaster story, seeing Winnie going “undercover” to prove to her Police Chief father that she was right, was fantastic and had me reading this book and finishing it in a 24 hour period. If you love historical novels, love the thrills of a great suspense story, and enjoy reading a God-filled romance book, then look no further than this 4 star debut. Ms. Hitchcock has extreme talent and is sure to be on the best sellers list before long! I sing the praises of this story loudly and can't wait for the next book from this talented author, as well as another incredible installment in this new series from Barbour! *I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review, positive or negative.*
