ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Lost Melody
Series: A Midnight Dance #2
Author: Joanna Davidson Politano
Publisher: Revell
Release Date: October 4, 2022
Genre: Christian Historical Fiction
"Haunting. Riveting. Filled with hope."--Michelle Griep, author of Lost in Darkness
When concert pianist Vivienne Mourdant's father dies, he leaves to her the care of a patient at Hurstwell Asylum. Vivienne had no idea the woman existed, and yet her portrait is shockingly familiar. When the asylum claims she was never a patient there, Vivienne is compelled to discover what happened to the figure she remembers from childhood dreams.
The longer she lingers in the deep shadows and forgotten towers at Hurstwell, the fuzzier the line between sanity and madness becomes. She hears music no one else does, receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages, and untangles far more than is safe for her to know.
But can she uncover the truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions?
Joanna Davidson Politano casts a delightful spell with this lyrical look into the nature of women's independence and artistic expression during the Victorian era--and now.

MY THOUGHTS
The Lost Melody is written by Joanna Davidson Politano. This is book 2 in the Midnight Dance Series. This book was such a beautiful amazing read. I found myself lost within the first few pages.
This book is set in England in 1886. We see Vivienne Mourdant, a well-known concert pianist. However, her father has passed away and his debts passed to her. The most interesting one is Hurstwell Asylum. She goes there searching to what these mysterious payments are for. She quickly finds out that there are no answers to her questions. She is told that Rosemond Swansea does not exist. Vivienne decides to go undercover as an aide to try and find out what is going on.
