Why read it?
1 author picked The Forgotten Room as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
First of all, as an author, I love that three different authors wrote about three different characters, and it all melds perfectly. That’s a feat in itself.
Secondly, I’m a fan of dual timelines, history, and family secrets, and this book has it all. Third, it has a setting of a Gilded Age mansion in New York City, and that always makes a great setting.
This novel is a wonderful mix of light romance, history, and mystery, a trifecta for my reading tastes.
From Jessica's list on thrillers that are set in real locations and connect a past event with the present.
