Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review for the tour today.
Trouble’s brewing and times are changing. If you play with fire you may just get burnt!
London 1929
Torn between the love of his family life in London and a deathbed promise to an American relative, Ben Harper makes a fatal decision that may change the course of many lives.
Honour-bound, Ben remains in New York to investigate who is responsible for the suspected fraud, corruption and the department store’s failings. His findings point towards organised crime and shadowy gangsters who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Meanwhile Sally Harper and their children safely return home to oversee the smooth running of the thriving Harpers Emporium. With the help of Beth Burrows, Kitty Wilson, and Ruby Rush, Sally plans for an ever-changing future with the cards she’s been dealt.
Will Ben heed the deadly warnings before it’s too late or will his honourable promise bring despair to those he loves?

Here I am again! Nine books into this series, and it still holds its charm for me. Troubled Times at Harpers was a book I was eagerly awaiting. Rosie Clarke is a masterful storyteller, and I always enjoy returning to Harpers.
I am a massive fan of historical fiction, and Rosie Clarke is an author who clearly does intensive research. I have been addicted to the Harper series from book 1 due to the immersive storylines, vivid multi-layered characters, and the settings. They always transport me back to the time period of whichever book I am reading in the series.
1929 sees Ben Harper in America because his aunt is dying, and she wants him to run the store she owns. He feels that something isn’t right, and it comes about it may be his cousin behind it, so Ben decides to dig until he finds the problem.
Sally is back home running Harpers while Ben is away. She still has her friends to help in as always. I do love the strength of their friendship, Beth, Ruby, and Kitty are beautiful people. They are the embodiment of this era. Strong throughout whatever they face.
I was disappointed when I got to the end, I wasn’t ready to leave this beautiful community! Another belter of a read. I couldn’t wish for a better historical fiction story. Now it’s time to wait and see if there is more to come for Harpers.
