Well, Roseanna M. White's done it again! She's captured my imagination by introducing me to some of the most intriguing characters ever! A Beautiful Disguise is her newest historical fiction novel and the beginning of a new series, The Imposters. It centers around Marigold Fairfax and her brother Yate's spy activities and there's also a lot of activity around their trapeze act and the circus. l enjoyed the fun banter between these siblings and the descriptions of their life at home and at the circus, but I was entranced by the interaction between Marigold and Sir Merritt Livingstone, who is also involved in intelligence. He is loyal, trustworthy, and a man of faith. Will he be the one person who sees through Marigold's beautiful disguise? Does his heart recognize that she chooses to keep her true self hidden?
This book is set in 1909 London and White explains in her author's notes how she's woven the suggestion of German spies in England into a fascinating tale of the Fairfax siblings and the other members of their team. I'm looking forward to learning more about them in the other books of the series. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction.
I purchased a copy of this book for my own personal enjoyment. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
