A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES by Marilyn Clay takes place in Colonial Jamestown in 1620. Four young ladies—Diana, Sallie Mae, Faith, and Prudence—strangers to one another and each hiding secrets, board a Bride Ship in England bound for the New World. Seeking love, husbands, and the adventure of a lifetime, the girls are instead swept into a maelstrom of lies, treachery, and deceit. Upon arriving in Jamestown, they are shocked to discover that someone in the colony wants one, or all of them, dead. Still reeling from the tragedy that left her an orphan, Diana bravely sets aside her grief to unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. When all clues point to the most likable and highly respected Jamestown colonist, Diana knows that here in the New World, where women must remain silent and submissive, no one will believe her. Yet as she meticulously uncovers long-hidden secrets, she knows that saying nothing makes her part of the lie. When charges of witchcraft are leveled against one of the girls, Diana boldly speaks out in her defense. Despite the turmoil in their lives, each girl still longs for love, a husband, and a new life. With the lies and treachery spinning out of control, the final shocking event stuns the entire colony. Will every secret now come to light? Or are the most horrific best left buried? Major characters from Marilyn Clay's earlier colonial novel DECEPTIONS: A JAMESTOWN NOVEL, published in hard cover in July 2010—Catherine, Phyrahawque, Noah, and Adam—contribute to this suspenseful tale of intrigue, romance, and adventure in the New World. Rich with historical detail, fast-paced and brimming with unexpected twists and turns, A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES will keep readers guessing until the final page. Originally published in hardcover by Five Star/Gale in June 2012 under the title SECRETS AND LIES, minor changes and additions to the story have been made in this trade paperback edition published by Mayfair Mysteries.“Not only was the plot extremely interesting and lived up to the 'hype' that's still out there for witches and wizards of the 1600's, characters from Marilyn Clay's previous Jamestown novel, DECEPTIONS, make an appearance, which adds to the entertainment. The changes and plot twists keep readers on their toes, and will have mystery and history lovers running to Amazon and their local libraries for this one! Stay alert, because this plot makes sure to hold your attention until the very last page.” - ONCE UPON A ROMANCE"A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is a novel of early Jamestown. Four young women – Diana, Sallie Mae, Faith and Prudence – come from England on the Bride Ship to the New World. Each comes for reasons of her own, and brings a baggage of secrets and lies. After surviving the hellish trip across the Atlantic, they find that life in the colony of Jamestown is not what they dreamed it to be. Life is hard, with unending work. There are Indians all around, both good ones and bad ones. Lots of single men want to marry, but who among them can be trusted? And there is a mystery, but I'm not going to give away too much of the plot, so you can enjoy it for yourself. Reading A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is like stepping through a doorway into history. Marilyn Clay has done an incredible amount of research into the period, and it shows in a good way . . . how it would look and smell and feel if you were truly in 1620s Jamestown. The characters and how they react are just as authentic. The romances are sweet and touching and period appropriate. A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is the kind of book you want to get lost in and are sad when it's over. Thoroughly recommended." -Janis Susan May, author."As in Marilyn Clay's previous Colonial American novels, the Jamestown colony springs to life, and the shipboard experiences of the four young ladies evoke heartbreaking images. A riveting and compelling story!" Richard Whitaker, Historian.

I've been to Jamestown, researched the early settlers and walked that same plot of ground. This story is so real . . . all my knowledge fit with the people, scenes and events. The story depicts the hardships of the people of the times when they embark to a new land full of unexpected rewards and grave disappointments. Sallie Mae is one of the strongest characters and deserves her ending. Prudence surprised me with what she did in a moment of weakness. Faith’s life was changed by the actions of her sister. The culmination of her deeds also surprised me and showed what can happen as we are affected by the actions of those we hold dear. This is historical fiction – some of the best I’ve read.
