The Lost Letters of Rose Carey
Julie Bennett
I thoroughly enjoyed this duel timeline story set here in Sydney, one hundred years apart we get to know Emma and Rose as Emma uncovers Rose’s story through letters that she discovers in a trunk at The Carrington Hotel in The Blue Mountains, an interesting tale of love, secrets and mystery.
Emma Quinn is a videographer, her wife Lauren and her are going through IVF to start a family and the stress is growing within their marriage and while filming a documentary she uncovers a trunk in the historic Carrington Hotel, when she discovers it is being sent to landfill Emma takes it home and her she discovers the past of Australian silent movie star Rose Carey and she is pulled into discovering everything she can about her.
1923 and Rose and her partner Walter Ryan have just finished filming in New Zealand and have arrived back in Australia, Rose has big plans for an extravaganza when Walter tells her their money has gone but Rose is not going to give up and starts planning a the extravaganza she orders the water tank for her diving and swimming but when her best friend is killed in a terrible accident, Rose and Walter are now very worried about the accidents that have been happening, is Rose safe?
Emma becomes more obsessed with uncovering all that happened to Rose, she feels somehow that there is a link between her and Rose and the pressure is building on her marriage, will she uncover the truth, will her and Lauren get through their problems and Rose, will she be safe, who can she trust after everything that has happened, I loved the twist at the end.
This is a story that will pull you in with twists and turns and it is so well written, the characters are wonderful and very easy to like and the settings are so good, I loved the 1923 setting in Sydney. I do highly recommend this one it is sure to keep you turning the pages.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my digital copy to read and review.
