About the Book:

Geneva Ashcroft Hayes's marriage to a newspaper mogul might have been arranged, but the New York socialite is devastated when her husband's plane crashes a few short months after their nuptials. When the authorities suspect murder, Geneva sets out on a wild mission to find his killer--and to prove it wasn't her!

When mysterious notes surface pointing to Geneva's guilt in his death, they only strengthen her resolve. She has little to go on except for a detective friend's cryptic list of locations connected to her dead spouse. When the friend also disappears, she trades her sparkling gowns for coveralls and pilot goggles.

Armed with a new name and career as a wingwalker and barnstormer, she travels from town to town in hopes of unearthing clues and locating her missing friend. But Geneva discovers that her past may not belong to her . . . what she once believed as truth may be nothing more than lies and deception.

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved this story! Geneva has gone undercover to try to figure out who is responsible for her husband's death, but instead discovers much more than she could have imagined. Interspersed throughout we are taken back in time and see her relationship develop between Geneva and her husband. Each chapter ended with a question or a reveal dropped that I had to keep reading to find out what was next. I was hooked. There is romance, mystery and faith  all interweaved. I loved it.  I have never read anything by this author before and I will definitely be reading more by them in the future.
