Hattie Vavaseur is a C/T/M/H novel by M. Rebecca Wildsmith. This book is a combination of crime, drama, mystery, and romance. It begins with a mystery, unlike any other historic thriller novel. The leading character of this book, Hattie is presented as an egoistic lady, one who senses revulsion to any blossoms of pink. She has lost all the memories but her self-pride doesn’t allow her to admit it. She arrives at a mysterious mansion in Cornwall England, possessed by a gentleman name Reginald, and the house is strangely painted in white to cover the shades of green.

Another fun character Vamelda possesses psychic powers. She enjoys talking to the dead and amuses herself in the process. Vamelda has a big crush on Bertram, and their little interaction makes this book amusing. I find her to be the most humorous character in the book. Metaphorically speaking not just the heroes of this plot but also the character of the bad guys was perfectly represented by the author.

The unique bond that Hattie and Reginald shared between them was unexplainable. The character development of every dramatis personae is flawlessly executed. I embrace the way with which the owner of the house improves in his character as he discovers new truths about his life. The mystery and humor element of this book is what makes the romance interesting. The narration was smooth, and the vocabulary was easy to understand. Switching from one timeline to the other was well executed. The author has fabricated the plot considering 1920s British culture in mind and I am sure someone could direct a great movie out of it.

Notably, there is nothing to dislike about this book. I immensely enjoyed reading this 1920s murder mystery with supernatural elements. I have one tiny complaint though, out of all the mysteries that the author tried to generate some of them were quite obvious to me as a reader.

I give Hattie Vavaseur 4 out of 4 stars. Some very minor grammatical mistakes have been found, but it isn’t enough to lower the rating. Throughout the book, I did not discover any profanity. Through the pattern of this book, we can assume that the author enjoys writing novels in historic British literature. The target audience for this book is people who love classical literature, supernatural mysteries, humor, and a pinch of romance. In addition, all the Agatha Christie fans would find this book more interesting.

I can appreciate Hattie’s dilemma with her memories. My dad is beginning to have the same problems and it’s difficult for those he’s close to. I really hope that Hattie and Reginald can help each other.

I love it when mystery and humor are used to spice up a romance book. However, I am not into supernatural, so I don't think I would enjoy reading this book. All the same, thank you for a detailed review.
