Sinopse

In "Forge and Furnace," Florence Warden masterfully intertwines the threads of industrial life and personal narrative, creating a vivid tapestry that encapsulates the tumultuous emotions and societal changes of the Victorian era. With a distinct literary style characterized by rich imagery and incisive character development, Warden explores the lives of her characters against the backdrop of industrialization'Äîin particular, the impact of the burgeoning iron and coal industries. The narrative captures the complexities of human relationships within the harsh realities of industrial labor, reflecting the interdependence of societal progress and individual sacrifice. Florence Warden, an accomplished Victorian novelist, often drew upon her own experiences as a woman navigating a predominantly male literary landscape. Her keen insight into societal norms and the hardships faced by industrial laborers stemmed from her profound understanding of the period's social dynamics. Warden's commitment to representing the struggles and aspirations of both her female and working-class characters is evident throughout the novel, revealing her advocacy for social reform and her empathy for marginalized voices. I highly recommend "Forge and Furnace" to readers interested in Victorian literature and social commentary. Warden'Äôs ability to blend storytelling with poignant reflections on the human condition makes this work not just a novel but a critical examination of an era marked by both promise and peril.

    In the chilling conclusion of the trilogy, Kat is left to pick up the pieces after Adam’s untimely death, but her own secrets threaten to unravel her. 
     
    As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren't supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off. The more she learns, the more she suspects their meeting was more than coincidence. 
     
    People connected to Adam’s dark past begin to meet grim fates, and Kat is left wondering how much of it is out of her control—or if she’s part of a bigger, more sinister plan. Is she being followed, or is her paranoia a sign that something far more menacing is at play?

    With pandemic-fearing city dwellers fleeing to the New Jersey suburbs, Risko Realty—and Odessa Jones—are having their best year ever. Finally on solid financial footing, Odessa is debt-free and looking forward to the future. But she doesn't need second sight to sense her new young co-worker, Anna Lee, is on edge—and straight-up terrified—in spite of her hot sales record and sunny, outgoing attitude. And when Anna is killed in a hit-and-run, Odessa sees immediately that it was no accident . . .  
     
     
      
    It's soon clear that Anna was being stalked. But even with the help of family, friends—and Odessa's feisty cat, Juniper—Odessa is coming up with more questions than clues. Why was Anna avoiding influential real-estate mogul Emily Delbarton? Why is Delbarton's decidedly creepy brother so fixated on Anna? Did Anna make enemies through her previous job at the town's exclusive gentlemen's club? And can Odessa rule out her own ex-fiancé—who's back in her life with an astounding connection to Anna—and wanting a second chance? Finding the answers will come at an increasingly deadly cost—one Odessa's talents must somehow trap a killer to repay . . .
