Connect Five Books - A Colorful Title

This post contains affiliate links.

The Book Date is hosting the Connect Five Books challenge throughout 2019, and the challenge is to look for connections between books we read. Some examples would be five books of the same genre, five books by the same author, five books with a similar theme, five debut books, and so on.

It's taken me six full months, but here is a Connect Five from me! Five books with a color in the title.

The White City by Grace Hitchcock

The White City: True Colors: Historical Stories of American Crime is the first in a fascinating new series of historical novels based on true crime stories. While attending the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde witnesses what she believes is a kidnapping. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to investigate, and he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the suspected kidnapper -- if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.

The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery

The Blue Castle tells the story of Valency Stirling and her discovery of a new world of love and happiness. She escapes the influence and control of her overbearing family and pursues her own interests and new friendships.

The Golden Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse

The Golden Bride is part of the Daughters of the Mayflower series. Olivia Brighton is a young window working her brother's restaurant in San Francisco during the gold rush. Her brother's friend Joseph Sawyer is involved in local politics and especially in trying to help the Chinese that are trapped in forced labor. The more Joseph gets pulled into investigating crime in the city, the less Olivia sees him, and the greater the dangers to both of them.

The Pink Bonnet by Liz Tolsma

The Pink Bonnet: True Colors: Historical Stories of American Crime is part of the same series as The White City. Widowed in Memphis during 1932, Cecile Dowd struggles to provide for her three-year-old daughter. She has a neighbor babysit little Millie Mae, but the woman unwittingly gives the little girl over to Georgia Tann, the corrupt Memphis Tennessee Children's Home Society director suspected of the disappearance of hundreds of children. Eventually, a sympathetic lawyer helps Cecile search for Millie, which uncovers a deep level of corruption that affects hundreds of families and threatens their lives.

The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson

The Red Door Inn is set on Prince Edward Island, which is what drew me to the book. Marie Carrington is running from bed memories and looking for safety on PEI, where she agrees to help Jack Sloane decorate his bed-and-breakfast in time for the tourist season. Seth Sloane is the nephew that is helping Jack while trying to forget about the fiancee who broke his trust. Marie and Seth don't trust each other, but they do agree that they need to work together to get the Red Door Inn up and running on time.
