The second book in her Shadows Over England series (set in the beginnings of WWI) features the next sister, Willa Forsythe. Willa is an untrained violin savant as well as an expert thief, and both things work perfectly for this assignment from the mysterious Mr. V.
Lukas De Wilde is one of the best violinists of the time - and he knows it. He genuinely loves music AND all of the perks that accompany a man of his status! Although he is not a horrible person at heart, he has been living quite selfishly. Lukas' recently deceased father was a cryptologist, and everyone is looking for the "key" (including Willa). When he finds out that his mother and sister were driven from their home in Louvain by the occupying Germans, he goes to find them and is shot in the process. Unsure if they are dead or alive, out of necessity he goes on a fundraising tour where he meets the very interesting Willa Forsythe.
With intrigue, secrets, romance, and much more - this book is incredibly easy to recommend! I especially appreciated learning more about Willa's backstory and then watching her change and grow. I would suggest reading the first book...well, first; although I suppose you could read A Song Unheard as a standalone, I believe you will enjoy it much more after reading A Name Unknown (Rosemary's story) first.
This book was provided to me by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
