Happy Thursday and welcome to my stop on Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau blog tour hosted by Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours! I have an exciting cover reveal for you today. It’s so pretty! Here it is…

Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau
The year is 1911 when twenty-year-old heiress Peggy Batternberg is invited to spend the summer in America’s Playground.
But the invitation to Coney Island is unwelcome. Despite hailing from one of America’s richest families, Peggy would much rather spend the summer at the Moonrise Bookstore where she works voluntarily, than keeping up appearances with Brooklyn socialites and her snobbish, controlling family.
But soon it transpires that the hedonism of Coney Island affords Peggy more of the freedom she has been longing for. For one, she finds herself in love with a troubled pier-side artist of humble means, whom the Batternberg patriarchs would surely disapprove of.
Disapprove they may, but hidden behind their pomposity lurks a web of deceit, betrayal and deadly secrets. And as bodies begin to mount up amidst the sweltering clamour of Coney Island, it seems the powerful Batternbergs can get away with anything…even murder.s
It is up to Peggy to overcome the oppression of her family and clear the name of her vulnerable lover, before she or her beloved sister become the next victims of Dreamland.
Extravagant, intoxicating and thumping with suspense, bestselling Nancy Bilyeau’s magnificent Dreamland is a story of corruption, class and dangerous obsession.

That is a great cover and the story sounds interesting as well. I was just thinking the other day, it has been ages since I’ve read a story taking place in NYC (which is one of my favourite cities in the world).

The Gaslight Mystery series I’m currently reading has a few books that deal with turn of the 19th century Coney Island that casts a similar shadow. I’m very intrigued!
