A review by rebecca_isreading
City of Secrets by Victoria Thompson
4.0
Thanks to the publisher, via Netgalley, for an advanced e-galley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars, rounded. This is a solid and intriguing story, with plenty of scandal and intrigue included. It feels as though Victoria Thompson has so thoroughly captured time and place in this book, and the society that Elizabeth finds herself in after spending most of her life to that point as a con artist. Her relationship with upright Gideon is sweet as they navigate their different backgrounds to try to find common ground. Elizabeth's way of using her knowledge of how to con people for good intentions is entertaining. As the second in a series, this book did a good job of continuing stories from the first book while still furthering the plot lines and characters.
