The Proposition edition by Jan Selbourne Literature Fiction eBooks

In Perilous Love Ms. Selbourne gave us a love story surrounded by the beginnings of a world war. In Lies of Gold she had her characters find love amidst spies and the worst kind of human trafficking. In The Proposition, Andrew Haines and his cousin Lacey Haines find each other in a post-World War I murder mystery.

Harry Connelly, a former policeman who could face charges himself escapes from that situation and a cheating wife by enlisting in the army and going off to fight in France. There he meets lookalike Andrew Haines, on the night before one of the worst battles of the war. The next day, wounded, Harry finds Andrew's corpse. Rather than getting patched up and sent home to face the consequences he'd first run away from, he switches IDs and returns home as Andrew Haines. Little does he know, but he's jumped from the proverbial frying pan into the flames. Not only is Andrew running himself—from huge gambling debts—but his family is the most dysfunctional imaginable. In fact, someone seems to want to kill them.

In walks Lacey Haines, the best of the familial lot by far. Andrew's policeman's heart kicks in and he wants nothing more than to protect Lacey from whatever is wrong in her family. To do so puts himself at risk, too. Discovering the murderer, the skeletons hidden well within the family closets, and how Andrew and Lacey survive it all is a book well worth reading. Thanks for another great story, Ms. Selbourne!

I was given a pre-publication review copy to read but have also bought the book.

The Proposition edition by Jan Selbourne Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Jan Selbourne has once again outdone herself with a masterfully written novel of love, lies, intrigue and mystery. The tangled web of lies which the Haines family are dragging Andrew and Lacey into kept me turning page after page to find out the secret behind 'the proposition'. I could not put it down until the very end. A must read!!! If you haven't already read 'Periolous Love' and 'Lies of Gold' by this amazing author I strongly recommend you do
I just finished Jan Selbourne's "The Proposition" and...OH MY! I was so drawn into the era of post World War I England and all the intrigue that I was looking over my shoulder at every little creak in the house! (I should never read a murder thriller at night!) The setting and characters are so real; the plot was constantly twisting and turning so I never knew who was the villain or who to trust. If a book can have more than 5 stars, this is it!
Very accurate in details of the time period, as with all her books. Interesting plot turns leaving you to want to read quickly to find out why or how something happened. I would like to read a follow-up book on this title. I like when the art work fits the story with class, not like some of the tacky pictures publishers put on to hype sex.
The Proposition was excellent! I read her other two books ( Perilous Love and Lies of Gold) and couldn't wait for book number three! I'd recommend these books to everyone!
Gripped by this story in the first chapter, I love this author's characterizations, her attention to detail and accurate historical facts. Ms. Selbourne has the ability to draw you in right at the beginning. I love that! I give this story about a man, a soldier, so unhappy with his own life that he switches identity with another soldier who is killed in battle, but the consequences are great, a strong 5 star review. So well done!
What an intriguing story. The horrors of war are so clearly shown. The decision the hero makes has an impact in his life bringing him someone to care about but also involving him in a mystery and murder. I read the book straight through and was sorry to see it end. Kudos to the author
On the bloody field of battle in World War I, Harry Connelly seeks a way out of his troubles, both domestic and professional. He switches identity with a dead soldier. The soldier is free. Harry, now Andrew, is not. He struggles with his leg wound and unemployment in London until a letter arrives with a proposition. It seems Andew’s life was in even worse shape. Murder, family jealousy and greed now dominates his double’s life. Good thing he used to be a cop. And it’s a good thing he has Lacey, a wartime nurse who is embroiled in the murders, and with plenty of secrets of her own.
Oh what webs we weave when first we practice to deceive! A top notch thriller! I enjoyed the gritty atmosphere, and wonderful characterizations. The intricate plot and these two good people trying to find their second chance against all odds kept me reading deep into the night. I was rooting for them all the way.
