Secrets Sealed Within a Wall Come to Light in Lower Manhattan
 
Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.

Investigative historical journalist Andrea Andrews is tired of waiting tables to make ends meet. If she could find and write the next breakout story, she could secure a promotion with Smithsonian Magazine as their writer-at-large. But not much happens in lower Manhattan out of the ordinary until she discovers post-Civil War counterfeit bills hidden in the wall of her historic district apartment.
 
Politics have always been Beau Davidson-Quincy’s passion, despite his family’s real estate empire. His clean image and single status make him a target in the media as he prepares to build his campaign for New York governor. He has nothing to hide until a cute waitress unravels a mystery that could destroy his family’s reputation.
 
Two centuries earlier, wounded Civil War veteran Franklin Davidson lost everything—his house, his wife, his standing in society. In his darkest moment, he’s awarded a position with the newly formed Secret Service to combat the spread of counterfeit U.S. currency. His life and new home in Gramercy Park are the envy of his peers, but nothing is as it seems. Secrets are meant to be kept, and Franklin will take his to his grave.
 

Marilyn's thoughts:   The Keys to Gramercy Park is a dual timeline that spanned back to Civil War Era. The characters were admirable except one from the historical era. Andrea is set to undercover a find when she met Beau in the modern story. There backgrounds were different; however, Patterson brought their tale to life. I really enjoyed the historical aspect of the story with the Secret Service commissioned to stop the counterfeiters during a difficult time in history. My heart went out to Franklin’s wife and daughter with the conniving of his twin brother.

 

Overall this is another well penned tale in the Doors to the Past by Barbour Publishers. Patterson weaved an engaging fictional tale with her research of Gramercy Park in New York.

 

I received a complimentary copy of the book from Barbour Publishers without any obligation to write a positive review. I have shared my own thoughts.
