Review: "Veiled in Smoke" by Jocelyn Green

Jocelyn Green is one of my favorite authors and I was thrilled to see she had written a new book and it is the first in a series!! The name is Veiled in Smoke – The Windy City Saga 1. On October 8, 1871 the great Chicago fire started. This is the story of that tragic day and the effect of the ensuing aftermath on sisters, Meg and Sylvie Townsend as they find there was greater evil afoot that night than just the fire.

Ms. Green uses the third person to tell her story, but she adds a twist. Each chapter deals with a separate member of the family. This gives a unique twist to the story that allows you to feel and see the story thru each one’s eyes. It also keeps you reading so you get an insight on everyone’s thoughts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the next one in the Windy city Saga. Jocelyn has a talent for bringing historical events to life in a manner that keeps you turning pages. Her attention to detail is outstanding!
