Setting: London, present day and early 20th century
Sensuality Rating: 5
Sensuality Rating: 5
Bestselling author Brenda Joyce makes her hardcover debut with The Third Heiress, a tale of suspense and romance that spans a century. Following a car crash, professional dancer Jill Gallagher holds her dying fiancé in her arms as he whispers, "I love you... Kate." Left with the wretched task of returning Hal's body to London and the aristocratic Sheldon family, Jill encounters hostility, malevolence, and a 90-year-old mystery involving a beautiful young American woman named Kate Gallagher and her impossible love affair with Edward Sheldon, Viscount Braxton.
A tangled web of love, lies, and murder begins to unravel as Jill digs into the scandal, revealing that very little has changed in the century since Kate Gallagher first caught Edward Sheldon's fancy--especially when the blue-blooded family lineage is threatened by an American upstart. When someone begins warning Jill off her research by ransacking her rented flat and slicing her car brakes, she isn't sure if Hal's American-born cousin Alex Preston is friend or foe. Alex claims to want to help, but Jill suspects that he is not telling her the truth. And with the threats against her life intensifying, Jill is running out of options quickly. A well-crafted novel infused with passion and suspense, The Third Heiress will both delight Joyce's devoted fans and attract new readers. --Alison Trinkle
From Booklist
When Hal, her fiance, utters "I love you, Kate" as his dying words, Jill Gallager is devastated. She accompanies his body back to London to be met with hate and suspicion by his family and the woman they say he had planned to marry. Seeking solace in Hal's former bedroom, she finds an obviously cherished antique photo of two women, one his grandmother and the other a woman named Kate Gallager who bears an astonishing resemblance to her. As this modern gothic unravels, Jill doesn't know whom to trust and whom to fear as she researches Kate Gallager, an American heiress who disappeared in 1909. Kate's tale is told through a series of dreams and visions that terrify Jill, who is already spooked by attacks from an unknown source. After proceeding at a stately pace, the action suddenly speeds up as veteran romancer Joyce brings her first hardcover romantic suspense novel to an exciting conclusion. Diana Tixier Herald

This is a fantastic book! Great mystery plot, suspense, romance and hot love scenes - what else could a person need? Once I picked this book up I couldn't put it down - stayed up way too late reading it. I'm going to start reading more of her books.

The Third Heiress was an excellent read, I loved the chemisty between the characters and storyline always kept me wondering. You won't be able to put it down!

I am a little more than half way through but came on here today to see if anyone else who read this book picked up on an annoying little habit of Ms. Joyce's to repeat herself, namely the constant repetitiveness of using "she, Jill,..." and "her, Jill,...." over and over again as if we don't know who she is referring to. I was hoping this is not a trademark of hers because I'd like to read other books by this author, but this annoying habit has me wanting to hurl the book across the lawn. The only reason I haven't is because I want to see what happens! Little quirks aside, I am really enjoying it.

Too much angst!
I'm only halfway through the book, and even though I love the story line, the Jill character is just TOO annoying, TOO strung up, TOO neurotic. Lesen Sie weiter...
