Jude Deveraux tarjoaa hömppäromaanin, jossa kerrotaan niin menneistä kuin nykyaikaan sijoitetuista tapahtumista, paksulla sokerilla kuorrutettuna: True Love (Headline, 2013; ISBN 978-1-4722-1138-5).
Kirjassa on häävalmisteluja ja sen semmoista juonielementtiä siinä määrin runsaskätisesti annosteltuna, että lukuinto ei pitkälle riittänyt.
Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a charming nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman’s relationship to the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix—fresh from a romantic breakup—but for reasons of her own Alix accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend’s storybook wedding.
But unseen forces move behind the scenes, creaking Kingsley House’s ancient floorboards. It seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that wasn’t troubling enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant (and extremely good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property’s guesthouse.
