A Thieving at Carlton House by Erica Vetsch

A Thieving at Carlton House was the first book I have read written by Erica Vetsch and I look forward to reading more. I was swept up into the story and could not put the book down. It was like watching one of those older BBC murder mystery series. It was an easy read full of vocabulary. The character development was good. I enjoyed getting to know Philippa and watch her grow, especially in her faith. All the characters were great, and I look forward to getting to see more. The storyline and setting were fun. I enjoyed the mystery aspects. Hunting down the thief and the murder, while also trying to start up a house for women. It was a great storyline. The historical element was great, maybe a little light. I didn’t feel like I was learning too much new stuff historically. But everything has its place. Just if you are a history nerd (which I am not, but I do enjoy learning) it might be lacking. I enjoyed it though. Erica Vetsch did a fantastic job intertwining faith throughout the book. I was very pleased. It was a great reminder that nothing we can do can get us into heaven, and that everyone is worthy of salvation, no matter our past. God wants a relationship with all of us. *I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily chose to review it. All opinions are my own.
