Beverly Swerling combines mystery, thriller, and fictional historical facts in BRISTOL HOUSE.

We meet Annie who is an academic historian along with being a recovering alcoholic. She accepts an assignment from the Shalom Foundation to look into missing ancient Jewish artifacts. Once she moves into her flat in London's BRISTOL HOUSE, strange things start to happen.

Geoff Harris is an investigative reporter who Annie meets once in London. He has his own reasons for wanting to help Annie. As they work together strange things continue to happen, and the action moves from historic Tudor times to Modern Day London.

As I read I like to imagine myself in the story as the heroine of the book. I had a hard time imagining myself as Annie. Beverly Swerling has a unique writing style, and if you like historic fiction that starts slowly, is an excellent source of historic facts and moves back and forth between time periods then I believe that BRISTOL HOUSE will be a book you will enjoy.
