A review by agirlreadsbooks
Lying With Lions by Annabel Fielding
3.0
Agnes Ashford starts working with the Bryant's as an archivist but soon stumbles upon quite a devastating secret that allows her to become much more involved personally with the family. Overtime her role evolves but it always includes keeping the families secrets, especially those of her employer and lover Lady Helen.
Through death, deceit, loss, and war Agnes is there. The world was changing so the Bryant family must adapt as well but can they survive it?
.
One of the first things that struck me was the detail in the story. It was atmospheric, dark in mood and often tone due to circumstances of story/characters and very descriptive. It feels as if the author picks you up and plucks you down right into the story.
.
I was a bit thrown off when we learn about a major secret alluded to in the synopsis quite quickly but no worries this read has a few twists that surprised me.
