The Bride of Blackfriars Lane ~ Michelle Griep

This book takes place in London in 1885.  If you like Christian Historical Fiction reads, then you will enjoy this one.  It is filled with mystery, adventure, drama and faith.  The story has you going in one direction then twist and takes you on another adventure.  When Kit and Detective Jackson prepare to marry and Kit thinks she has the perfect wedding gift for him.  Kit starts on a hunt to find out just who is responsible for his brother's murder.  Jackson wants the past left in the past.  Will this break the engagement?  Will Jackson be able to solve who murdered Kit's mother?  

I recommend this book if you like a mystery read that will have you turning the pages and wanting to know what is going to happen.  If you like not being able to put down a book, read this one.  The relationship between the two is what keeps you reading and you will be wondering how does the 2 mysteries tie in together?  *If you want a little background to these two, read The Thief of Blackfriars Lane first, but you don't have to...... just might want to.... :-)

A Visit to Borough Market

Whenever I skip across the pond, I make it a point to stop at the Borough Market for some great meals. This area was—and is—a popular place to shop and an absolute must-see for food lovers. From grocers, fishmongers, cheese sellers, and butchers to all kinds of ethnic eats, it’s hard not to want to sample everything. My personal favorite are the buddha bowls.

Believe it or not, Borough market has been in operation for the past thousand years. Yes, you read that correctly. It actually began as a bridge, constructed in 990. But let’s fast forward to the Victorian era, shall we?

 In the nineteenth century, a railway viaduct was constructed through the middle of the market, which brought in more people—but also brought in more noise, soot, disruption, and crime. In such a hotbed of activity, it’s easy to imagine cutpurses and pickpockets of all sorts.

And that’s the perfect scene for a certain con-artist turned investigator to meet with an informant. In The Bride of Blackfriars Lane, Kit Turner is up to her old shenanigans, much to Jackson’s chagrin. You can visit Borough Market along with her in this wild ride through Victorian London. It’s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.
