HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT GENTEEL SECRETS

1) “Genteel Secrets is a beautiful story which transports the reader in time. I imagined living with war raging around me, the sudden adaptation to change they’d have to make, families forced to leave their homes, their lives at stake running for safety. True to life historical fiction at its best, it’s so much more than romance. I could see this novel being made into a movie.”

2) “Super writing, super reading, another must for all history buffs out there.”

3) “This is just beautiful. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and dealing with the issue of slavery, this is a well-written spy romance and a tale of two unlikely partners in crime. A fan of Mallery’s other work I am in awe at her versatility and the great skill of characterisation. There is much background to the stories, i.e. the journey over from Europe, and a lot about humanity written into this: Friendships that conquer racial divide, romance that blooms in unexpected ways, bravery and a wonderful storyline.”

7) “All in all, a plot that flows easily, characters are well developed and a superlative ending. Outstanding in all aspects for all historical fiction buffs!”

HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT TROUBLE IN GLAMOUR TOWN:

1) “As with all of S. R. Mallery’s novels, the details and the historical facts that make the story come to life in your mind are enchanting.

I took a glimpse into the private lives of some key players in Hollywood’s glamorous life where fame and fortune intertwined with a darker side. But no matter how hard I tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together and guess who the killer was, the end was mind-blowing.”
