The Goldminer's Sister by Alison Stuart
4.0
Thank you @harlequinaus and @romanceanz for sending me a copy of this book in my #ReadThroughCovid19 box of books!
In 1873, Eliza arrives from England to meet her brother in the Victorian gold mining town of Maiden’s Creek, however when she arrives there it is to find a tragic mystery.....however the circumstances seem normal to everyone but Eliza, who decides she needs to dig a little deeper....and is shocked by what she discovers.
The author explains at the end in the author’s notes that she based Maiden’s Creek on Walhalla - a town I’ve been to. The author vividly captures the town, the landscape and life in a small mining community and I felt quite immersed in the 1870’s!
The characters were well developed and overall it was a great book to spend some cold wintery days with, despite some of the storyline being a tad predictable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
