MAN OF SHADOW AND MIST is another exceptional novel by MICHELLE GRIEP that I guarantee you will not be able to put down. The story takes place in Whitby, England, in the late nineteenth century, with Sir James Morgan returning to the bleak Morgrave Manor where his mother lies dying of a horrific disease which may well be his fate in the future. He has never had a close relationship with his mother but is willing to try anything to save her life. James has a deep faith in God but none at all in the church members and people in general who look upon him and his family as vampires. He is satisfied to live in solitude until he meets the beautiful and compassionate librarian, Rosa Edwards, whose aim in life is to educate the people of Whitby who are so caught up in superstition.
The book has all the darkness of a Gothic novel, but we see how the Lord brings light and hope into the story, and how He comes through for Rosa, protecting her from harm. ….
I do not want to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you, but this book has everything that makes up an exciting and inspirational read - unforgettable characters, a passionate love story, a spurned suitor, wrongful accusation, violence, and very strange happenings, all enveloped in a strong Christian message.
I cannot recommend Man of Shadow and Mist strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Barbour Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
