I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley to read in exchange for a fair review. Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley is a stand alone novel.I’m not quite sure I can express how much I loved this book. I can tell you I read all 369 pages of the story in less than 24 hours, that I stayed up 3 hours past my bedtime reading even though I knew I had to get up extra early the next day. That I read it on the bus to work and all my breaks at work because I did not want to put it down. The stories take place in both in present day Long Island and in the past in the same location just at the end of the Seven Years War. The chapters in the present are from the point of view of Charlotte Van Hoek (Charley) who has taken on the responsibility of caring for her grieving niece who’s father Charlotte’s brother recently passed away. She has been hired to curate a small museum at Wilde house the home of revolutionary war hero Benjamin Wilde, captain of the ship Bellewether. The historical portion of the book takes place in the same house and is told from the points of view of Lydia Wilde Benjamin’s sister and Lieutenant Jean-phillipe de Sabran de La Noye a French Canadian Prisoner of war who is billeted at Wilde house. Susanna Kearsley weaves a tale of love and loss, a mystery and a ghost story that leaves you enchanted. I highly recommend this book. Publishing Date April 24, 2018 #Bellewether #NetGalley
