The Blue Cloak by Shannon McNear

Wow! I had the opportunity to read The Blue Cloak by Shannon McNear! What a thrilling tale!

Rachel is excited and jealous as her best friend, Sally, marries her new beau.  However, something isn't quite right at the wedding ceremony.  Rachel is happy to stand as a witness with her childhood friend, Hugh, but he is clearly off soon to be with his new interest, Liz.  Time moves on. Is Sally safe? What is going on with her new husband? And what has become of Hugh? What about his friend, a potential suitor for Rachel, who he mentioned in passing?

The Blue Cloak will captivate you!  This compelling novel will draw you in and carry you along the frontier on a journey set in the late 1790's.  The Blue Cloak is part of the  Historical Stories of American Crime Series.  It is truly a spellbinding story.  In fact, I couldn't put it down!  The author does start off with a "warning" that this book does share some (real) graphic details. That made me nervous at first - as I've read some other author disclaimers - but honestly I'd give it a PG or PG13 rating.  Not appropriate for children and likely historically accurate.

I did enjoy The Blue Cloak and would highly recommend this book. I  received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
