Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing High-Wire Heartbreak by Anna Schmidt. It is book 6 in the Doors to the Past series, where each book features a dual-timeline period romantic suspense story set against a historic American landmark. They all stand alone and do not need to be read in order. As I was writing this post I realized it published 1.1.22, but since I have not been able to get my hands on it, I can't wait to read it 😉 I have really enjoyed the other books I have read from this series and have high expectations for this one!
In 1936--A party at the Ringling mansion Ca d’Zan in Sarasota, Florida, leads to a robbery--and possibly death.
A successful historical mystery writer, Chloe Whitfield comes to Ca’
d’Zan to research her next novel. Chloe’s fascination with the circus is
rooted in family stories of her great-grandmother Lucinda Conroy, who
reportedly was a trapeze artist of some renown. She’s heard hints of
scandal—and perhaps larceny, but no details.
Chloe’s
grandmother—rumored to be Lucinda’s only offspring—was raised in an
orphanage and never knew her mother. Intrigued as she is, Chloe has no
intent of writing about Lucinda until she sees a poster featuring
Lucinda as the star performer for a 70th birthday gala for John Ringling
in May of 1936. From there the trail goes cold.
Who was Lucinda and what happened to her?
