Book Review - A Daring Venture by Elizabeth Camden


Elizabeth Camden's latest novel, A Daring Venture, is set in 1908 with the fight to bring clean water to New York City.  This book is the second in a series, and although it could be read alone, I recommend reading the first book, A Dangerous Legacy, prior to this one.  It will make the family feud and some other relationships easier to understand.  I have read and loved several of Elizabeth Camden's books.  While I don't think that this is her best, I still couldn't put it down, so that is a testament to her writing.  I found the story engaging, and the science aspects were well-woven into the story without seeming dull or superfluous.  I liked both Nick and Rosalind, and their romance was sweet.  I also always appreciate the historical details that are present in the book.  Those looking for a more overtly Christian novel may be disappointed, as the characters' faith is barely discussed, but it is certainly a story that involves Christian values like trust, honesty, and loyalty .  I highly recommend this story.

I received this book from the publisher, Bethany House, for the purpose of writing a review, but all opinions are my own.
