Review of Hattie Vavaseur
[Following is a volunteer review of "Hattie Vavaseur" by M. Rebecca Wildsmith.]
Hattie Vavaseur by Rebecca Wildsmith is a murder mystery. This was not your typical detective-solved murder. You wake up one day and discover yourself in an utterly unfamiliar place. Or is it really a strange place? What if you are the one who forgot everything, and it is indeed your place? This is what happened to Hattie Vavaseur, the primary character. She lost her memories and woke up in a house that wasn't hers. The estate was controlled by an outrageous master who was usually angry and grumbling. He had her bedroom painted pink, which Hattie loathed. She was forced to meet Vamelda, an occultist. Hattie receives information from Vamelda that is a life-changing truth. What would that information be? Was that actually a truth? What secrets will be uncovered and whose murder will they solve?
There are not many characters in this novel. The few characters that appeared in the story were potent and created especially for their respective roles. Hattie is a likeable heroine who is brave, unyielding, loving, and kind. Vamelda is a character that is a work of art. As soon as her scene appeared, I could visualize her in my head. She helped those in need and was witty and dramatic. There are other mysterious individuals. I adored how the author brought in a common individual to act as the link that binds everyone in the story. There were points when this story was difficult to understand, but you just had to wait till everything made sense. The story kept the mystery alive. To keep readers interested, the author skillfully revealed secrets, surprises, and turning points.
This tale transports us to the 19th century, when friends could write letters to one another, and women were expected to act "ladylike." Reading the romantic tale that took place in the 19th century was enjoyable. It felt refreshing. The dramatic effects are another wonderful aspect of the narrative. The tale kept the audience in anticipation the entire time, providing a good performance. The tempo wasn't excessively rapid or slow. The story plot had its ups and downs. At times, it was calm and smooth. In various parts of the story, it made you anxious to find out what happened next. I was unable to identify any drawbacks with the book.
This tale combines romance, suspense, and historical fiction. Even the antagonists grew on me. They increased the story's interest. This is one of those books where you simply turn the pages till you reach the end without pausing. Each character was great in their assigned role. There were no drawbacks that I could identify. As a result, I give this book a 4 out of 4 rating. Expert editing was performed on the book.
If you want to read a fresh narrative with some romance set in the 19th century, I suggest Hattie Vavaseur. It is perfect for anyone looking for a different kind of murder mystery. The recommended reading age for this book is older than 16.
