 Although FIRE AT MIDNIGHT may be the first release from Lisa Marie Wilkinson, this author shows remarkable talent and her gift is evident with the depth of characterization plus the innovative storyline. The non-stop action, the fascinating plotline, and the intriguing characters are sure to keep the readers glued to the pages until the book is finished. Ms. Wilkinson has earned her place on the keeper shelf. "Good solid writing keeps the reader turning the page, wondering what this talented author was going to come up with next." Lisa Marie Wilkinson has written a bold and exciting tale in Fire at Midnight. She weaves an intricate story, one of startling complexity of plot, and generous proportions in the creations of her characters, for they are very real to the reader. Moreover, Lisa Marie Wilkinson does it so well! Fire at Midnight is a real romantic thriller, one with new twists at every corner, and so is a marvelous read! FIRE AT MIDNIGHT is an exciting Georgian romantic suspense starring a strong lead couple and a solid support cast. Though he has no redeeming quality in some ways the ultra villain Victor steals the show as his plots and actions are diabolical and deadly even when he is off the page. The rest of the secondary characters are also developed enough to either enhance the story line or the understanding of the two stars; especially Tarry who wants to be a hero to his beloved friend and to his larger than life father, but though he tries he lacks the skills. Fans will enjoy this fine early eighteenth century historical thanks to deep characterizations that hopefully include sequels.
Rachael Penrose is confined to Bedlam insane asylum in London after discovering that her uncle Victor plans to kill her brother in order to inherit the family fortune. Victor, with a gang of criminals, uses French privateer Sebastien Falconer as the scapegoat for his crimes. When Victor spreads the lie that Rachael informed on Falconer’s smuggling activities, Falconer vows revenge on the girl. Gripping suspense and romance play out in front of numerous historical details, including a violent storm that devastated England in 1703 and swept the Eddystone Lighthouse into the sea.
