The Lightkeeper's Ball

A Mercy Falls Novel

De: Colleen Coble

Narrado por: Devon O'day

Romance and mystery intertwine at the turn of the 20th century.

It is the dawn of a new century, and Olivia Stewart is heiress to an empire. Her family numbers among the Four Hundred - those considered the wealthiest and most distinguished in America. Unfortunately their wealth has nearly disappeared, and now their security rests upon the Stewart daughters marrying well.

Olivia's sister, Eleanor, was engaged to Harrison Bennett, one of the nation's wealthiest men, but has since died. Now the pressure is on Olivia to take her place, despite her suspicions about Eleanor's fiancé. Using her family's long-forgotten English title, Olivia travels to Mercy Falls, California, as Lady Devonworth, hoping to learn more before committing to marriage. There she finds that Eleanor's death was no accident. And Harrison is not the man she thought he would be.

When Mercy Falls holds a charity masquerade ball to raise funds for the new lighthouse, secrets - and truths long hidden - will be revealed. But can Harrison really love Olivia when he discovers her true identity? Can she live with the repercussions of failing her family, or will she finally realize that nothing - not money, family, or romance - will ever compare to God's unconditional love?

Love this Christian Historical series! Addicted!

Such a beautifully written book, I have listened to almost all of it Colleen’s books but the historical topic puts a new spin on it, and Colleen’s research is very accurate according to my history major, the man who would rather live in the late 1800-early 1900’s, husband of mine! My husband enjoys listening to the books too, but he wants to talk during it, so I don’t share anymore! Lol

Another amazing series by Colleen

I am making my way through all her books and have enjoyed every single one!!

Wonderful

Does not disappoint. You will love the series in Mercy Falls. Colleen is an amazing writer

“Greed, Pomp, and Circumstance”

JWright
Coble’s intrigue interweaves a mystery that is not solved until the final chapter of the book. I could remember only a few possible clues.
The historical era predates the changing mores of the “Roaring Twenties” when certain standards reigned. Deception is a prevalent thread exercised by many characters.
Overall this novel will hold your attention.

Deception

I love the way Colleen always brings God into each of her story’s which to me helps make me visualize them more realistically. This book was one of her best that she kept us unaware of the “who dunitl which I love!!! Just as I thought I had figured it out, zap, she gives me another character to make me go, “hmmmm”? Thank you for another beautiful story Colleen!!!

Fast paced, intriguing, romantic, fun

I couldn’t put it down. Absolutely loved this. The pacing of the romance was wonderful. The drama of the mystery was well crafted and woven together. I had my self debating the entire time! I highly recommend.

The twist in the end

I always love the references to the love of God. The storylines are always so good!

Such a great series!

Each story is engaging and has a good plot twist. The reader is wonderful at creating believable characters with her voice.
