Sinopsis

In "The Daughter of a Magnate," Frank H. Spearman weaves a compelling tale that explores the intricate dynamics of wealth, power, and familial loyalty in the early 20th-century American West. Set against a backdrop of rapid industrialization and burgeoning social classes, the novel deftly employs a realist style infused with vivid characterizations and sharp dialogue. Spearman captures the turbulent emotions and moral dilemmas faced by his protagonists, particularly the titular daughter, as she navigates the complexities of her affluent upbringing and personal identity amidst societal expectations and rivalries. A prolific writer and keen observer of human nature, Frank H. Spearman was profoundly influenced by his experiences in the American West, as well as by the social changes of his time. His background in journalism and firsthand familiarity with the lives of industrial magnates enable him to portray the intricate interplay of social classes with authenticity. Spearman's narrative not only reflects the material pursuits of his era but also unearths the emotional baggage carried by those ensconced in privilege, revealing the vulnerabilities beneath their ostentatious facades. This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the socio-economic tensions of early 20th-century America. Spearman's keen insights into the dynamics of wealth and the human spirit make this work a rich reflection on the cost of affluence and the personal sacrifices it invites. A captivating blend of romance and social commentary, "The Daughter of a Magnate" resonates with contemporary readers even a century later.

    “Mixing Romance and Mystery in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!” 
    In this seventh book of the series, Clive and Henrietta return to England to find Castle Linley in financial ruin. When Clive’s cousin, Wallace, invites an estate agent in to assess the home’s value, the agent is later found poisoned, throwing all of the Castle’s guests into suspicion. Clive and Henrietta are soon drawn into an investigation, which is slowed by an incompetent local inspector and several unexplained phenomena―the cause of which many, especially the frail Lady Linley, believe to be the workings of the ghost of a hanged maid. 
    Meanwhile, Gunther and Elsie have begun life on a farm in Omaha. Circumstances are difficult, but they are content―until Oldrich Exely appears, proposing an option Elsie finds difficult to ignore. Melody Merriweather, still masquerading as a nun to aid Elsie’s escape, likewise finds it difficult to ignore a letter with tragic news from home, while Julia, on the other hand, receives a very different sort of letter from Glenn Forbes. 
    Back in England, Clive is called away to London on suspicious business, leaving Henrietta to carry on with the investigation alone. When she is mysteriously locked in the study one night, however, things take on a more deadly, supernatural feel, leaving her to fear that Lady Linley's “ghost” might just be real after all…
