Thrilling Story. Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Ingenue by Rachel Kapelke-Dale is an exciting thriller about a young woman who returns home to find out her inheritance was left to her ex-lover. Story Recap: When Saskia Kreis returns to her childhood home for her mother’s funeral, she doesn’t expect to find out that her inheritance, the Elf House, was left to an ex-boyfriend, Patrick. The historic Elf House has been handed down from generation to generation and Saskia has grown up knowing the house would be hers one day. Saskia and her father can’t believe her mother would not leave the home to Saskia. Even her father can’t understand her mother’s thinking, and even if she didn’t want to leave it to Saskia, they are both perplexed why she would leave the home to Patrick. With so many unanswered questions, Saskia is determined to find some answers. My Thoughts: I loved this fast-paced story and I could not put this book down until I found out why Saskia’s mother left the house to Patrick. I like the way the author organized the chapters. It starts with a quick snippet from her mother’s feminist fairy tales and I thought this gave us a look into Saskia’s mother and how she thought. Next was a few paragraphs that took place in Saskia’s past and highlights how she became a pianist and how her parents supported her talent. I thought this gave us more suspense as Saskia’s past has clues to her mother’s motivation and we learn why Saskia abandoned her promising career. Next came the present-day section that details Saskia’s search to find the truth behind her mother’s bequest. As I read, the suspense got more and more intense, and the ending was one I had to read twice as I couldn’t believe what happened, and it was a very satisfying end. Recommendation: I highly recommend The Ingenue to anyone who loves suspenseful fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Worth the read - could have been shorter. While I enjoyed the story woven in Kapelke-Dale’s second book, I struggled to finish “The Ingenue.” I found the middle part of the book lethargic & drawn out. I wanted to see how the author brought the story to a close, so I pushed through and am glad I did, because the ending was quite satisfying. I just felt like a good chunk of the middle could have been shortened to speed the pace of the book & enhance the thriller aspect at its heart.
