Seven for a Secret - Premium Handmade Jewelry for Women | Unique & Elegant Necklace for Everyday Wear, Date Nights & Special Occasions

I really love this trilogy! Author Lyndsay Faye has a wonderful writing style, develops great depth of character, and writes a very detailed, vivid narration that gives readers a true feeling for what it must have been like to live in mid-1800’s New York City. You will feel like you’re actually there, living the life that the characters are a part of. Fast paced and at times very witty dialogue keep the stories moving along.I vaguely knew about the history of NYC’s first police officers, the “Copper Stars”, from where we get the police nickname ‘Cop’. The trilogy explores their history in depth, giving readers an understanding of the politically and culturally turbulent time period that made it almost impossible to even start an organized police force. But you don’t have to be a fan of “police stories” to be swept along by the great storytelling in this book.The protagonist, Timothy Wilde, is a wonderful character whom the reader quickly embraces, and can easily empathize with his feelings of loneliness, frustration with the turn his life has taken, and often times the feelings of isolation as a man seemingly fighting against all odds in order to maintain some semblance of justice and compassion in the world around him. Timothy is above all a man of honor and integrity, despite his doubts and some regrets about his choices in life.Read and enjoy!!
