Butterfly Palace by Colleen CobleMy rating: 💛💛💛
This historical mystery with the gothic atmosphere was different the author’s fast pace romantic suspense which made me a fan.
Though it was different, I still enjoyed the story, and the mystery was attention grabbing.
I enjoyed both main characters and how their relationship development.
Even though not my favourite by Colleen Coble, I still enjoyed this story.

About the book:
When Lilly Donnelly arrives at the Cutlers' famed Butterfly Mansion in 1899, the massive house and unfamiliar duties threaten to overwhelm her. Victorian Austin is lavish, highly political, and intimidating, but with the help of the other servants, Lilly resolves to prove herself to her new employers.
Then, while serving at an elegant dinner party, Lilly recognizes one distinguished guest as Andrew, the love of her life, who abandoned her without a word back home. He seems to have assumed a new identity and refuses to acknowledge her, leaving her confused and reeling.
Before Lilly can absorb this unwelcome news, she's attacked. Could it be the sinister Servant Girl Killer who has been terrorizing Austin? Or is it someone after something more personal--someone from her past?
Does she dare trust Andrew to help or is he part of the danger threatening to draw Lilly into its vortex?
