Edwardian England. Agnes Ashford knows that her duty is threefold: she needs to work on cataloguing the archive of the titled Bryant family, she needs to keep the wounds of her past tightly under wraps, and she needs to be quietly grateful to her employers for taking her up in her hour of need. However, a dark secret she uncovers due to her work thrusts her into the Bryants’ brilliant orbit – and into the clutch of their ambitions.
They are prepared to take the new century head-on and fight for their preeminent position and political survival tooth and nail – and not just to the first blood. With a mix of loyalty, competence, and well-judged silence Agnes rises to the position of a right-hand woman to the family matriarch – the cunning and glamorous Lady Helen. But Lady Helen’s plans to hold on to power through her son are as bold as they are cynical, and one day Agnes is going to face an impossible choice…
REVIEW
FTC Disclosure: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Lying With Lions is a compelling historical fiction set in Edwardian England.
A book had me hooked from start to finish – I literally couldn’t put it down. The plot is so clever and unique, I found myself in a constant state of curiosity and suspense. Agnes Ashford has been taken on by the prestigious Bryant Family to work as an archivist. In her meticulous research, she uncovers some information that could have devastating consequences. Does she expose her findings of the Bryant Family, whose dark family secrets are dripping with malice. Agnes also has her own agenda, coming from low background she wants rise up from her station in life. The Bryant family member’s are backstabbers, seeking to undermine each other.
Soon Agnes rises and becomes indispensable to the family’s matriarch, Helen Bryant in more ways than one.
A perfect read for me, with cunning family dynamics and the secrets
