Commentary To Books Seven for a Secret (Timothy Wilde #2)

Six months after the formation of the NYPD, its most reluctant and talented officer, Timothy Wilde, thinks himself well versed in his city’s dark practices — until he learns of the gruesome underworld of lies and corruption ruled by the "blackbirders," who snatch free Northerners of color from their homes, masquerade them as slaves, and sell them South to toil as plantation property.

The abolitionist Timothy is horrified by these traders in human flesh. But in 1846, slave catching isn’t just legal — it’s law enforcement.

When the beautiful and terrified Lucy Adams staggers into Timothy’s office to report a robbery and is asked what was stolen, her reply is, "My family." Their search for her mixed-race sister and son will plunge Timothy and his feral brother, Valentine, into a world where police are complicit and politics savage, and corpses appear in the most shocking of places. Timothy finds himself caught between power and principles, desperate to protect his only brother and to unravel the puzzle before all he cares for is lost.

Column About Books Seven for a Secret (Timothy Wilde #2)

The setting is interesting, and we stay located inside the world. But this is a puppet show. Fine for a beach read (but do wait for the paperback) but otherwise a bit of a toss off in terms of character, depth of mystery, etc. Heavy on the melodrama, and the actual craft - the sentence to sentence writing - is frequently difficult to suffer through.

I found 'Seven For a Secret' available through the Vine Program and thought it sounded like a great story. I soon realized it was the second book in a new series, of course I wanted to read the series in order. So, I picked up the first book 'The Gods of Gotham' and as it turns out I was pleased that 'Seven for a Secret' led me to 'The Gods of Gotham'.I read 'The Gods of Gotham' immediately before starting 'Seven For a Secret' I thought that would be the best way to keep the characters vivid in

(B-) 70% | SatisfactoryNotes: Cautious and wimpy, its cloyed by retrospective moralizing: so delicately inoffensive as to be narratively ineffectual.

What a fun book. I loved this and the fact that it was historical fiction was an extra bonus. I was taken for a ride. I didn't have to think or question or quiet my pet peeves. It was so enjoyable..........and since I did the audio, I have to say KUDOS to the narrator, Steven Boyer. He did a phenomenal job. I cannot wait to read the other 2 books in this series.The characters were fun, surprising, and oh so different. I loved that. Valentine and Timothy are brothers and they couldn't be more

I gushed over Lyndsay Faye's The Gods of Gotham, her debut foray into the dark heart of New York City 1845 and the violent and inauspicious origins of its first police force -- the copper stars. In its pages Faye strikes a remarkable balance between the thrilling and cerebral aspects of a good mystery and blends it with the rich detail and sumptuous atmosphere of the best historical fiction. More than the mystery and the historical details, what really makes this series a great read is Faye's



Trigger warnings: murder, kidnapping, slavery, racism, suicide, self harm, mentions of having been in a fire. 4.25 stars. I remember the first book in this series taking me FOREVER to get into, but for some reason with this one I was hooked on the very first page. It's a pretty heartbreaking story at times, dealing with the way that people of colour were treated in 1840s New York. It covers the white protagonist's realisation of just how bad things are, when people of colour can be kidnapped and
