Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick delivers "a promising start to a Victorian-era series" with the first Ladies of Lantern Street novel

Evangeline Ames has rented a country cottage far from the London streets where she was recently attacked. Fascinated by the paranormal energy of nearby Crystal Gardens, she finds pleasure in sneaking past the wall to explore the grounds. And when her life is threatened again, she instinctively goes to the gardens for safety.

Lucas Sebastian has never been one to ignore a lady in danger, even if she is trespassing on his property. Quickly disposing of her would-be assassin, he insists they keep the matter private. There are rumors enough already, about treasure buried under his garden and occult botanical experiments performed by his uncle—who died of mysterious causes. With Evangeline's skill for detection, and Lucas's sense of the criminal mind, they soon discover that they have a common enemy. And as the energy emanating from Crystal Gardens intensifies, they realize that to survive they must unearth what has been buried for too long.

Ech… norėjau, kad man patiktų šita knyga… labai. Nes viršelis ir anotacija labai domino… bet… na visas tas mistinis siužetas buvo nereikalingas čia. Manau jeigu tai būtų tiesiog istorinis romanas, su ta detektyvine linija, tai būtų buvę net labai gerai, bet tos visos mistinės galios, čia labai kišo......more

2.5 Stars Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick If I had seen the words ‘extraordinary’ or psychical’ one more time I may have plucked out my own eyeballs. Nevertheless, I suppose that complaint is unimportant, as the rest of the story did not live up to Ms Quick’s usual efforts. With several different stor......more

2.5/5.0 3 stars is really a stretch but others might like everything "psychical" more than I. For a complete review, visit Affaire de Coeur magazine, hard copy or online, April/May 2012 issue.......more
