Review: Beneath His Silence by Hannah Linder

When her older sister dies, Ella Pemberton poses as a governess to her sister’s son in order to find out if Lord Sedgwick killed Lucy, her sister. Sedgewick at first is cold towards Ella and to her it seems that the rumors about Henry murdering her sister are true. As Ella finds out more about the aloof lord, her opinions change, as does Henry’s opinion about her. Through dangerous situations, both discover the truth about what happened and learn to trust each other and God.
It is a good story and the faith element was strong. It has a slight Jane Eresque mystery in it about someone living in the manor house. The relationship between Ella and Henry was done well.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review: Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

Jessica, Norah and Alicia were just girls when they lived with thier foster mother and grew into sisters. When a body is found under the house they lived in during that time, questions about their foster mother and what she was capable of spur them to remember thier time with her. All three girls had difficult lives and this plays out with Jessica and Norah, while Alicia tries to help kids like she had been. All suspect thier abusive foster mother of doing something to someone, but they don’t have proof. Eventually the truth comes out and it frees the sisters to live thier lives. I thought this was disappointing story in that it was slow and was predictable. The twist at the very end was good, but I couldn’t get into the characters either. I liked Hepworth’s other books like The Younger Wife and The Soulmate better. Content warning: child abuse sexual abuse and strong language  ⭐️⭐️
