A review by rwbrock
Opulence and Ashes by Kate Belli

4.0

Fourth in the Gilded Gotham historical mystery series, this one centers on wedding planning for Genevieve (a society journalist) and Daniel (a rags-to-riches philanthropist), at least when they’re not investigating suspicious fires, a murder, the appearance of a long-lost relative and a horrifying imprisonment…lots going on here.

I’ve been enjoying this series as it’s progressed and found this one to be a good addition to the continuing story. I like both Genevieve and Daniel as characters and especially enjoy the inclusion of specifically women’s issues during this period and place (1890s New York). I’ve found each book well written and always look forward to the next.

My thanks to the author, NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for providing the free early arc of Opulence and Ashes for review. The opinions are strictly my own.
