#BookSpotlight: The Rush by Beth Lewis @bethklewis @mirandajewess @ViperBooks #TheRush #BethLewis #NewBook

Good evening everyone I hope you’ve had a good Thursday. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of The Rush by Beth Lewis recently.

I’m a huge fan of historical fiction, especially if it’s set on a period of history I know nothing about. This takes place during the Canadian Golf Rush which I’ve not read about before so I’m looking forward to finding out more about it. This book also features strong women which I always love reading about and has been described as perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah who I’m a huge fan of.

Huge thanks to Miranda and Viper Books for sending me a copy of this book it’s hugely appreciated.

Out 12th June 2025 and you can find out more about the book below ⬇️

Book Synopsis:

Gold fever has taken him. I believe he means to kill me…

Canada, 1898. The gold rush is on in the frozen wilderness of the Yukon. Fortunes are made as quickly as they’re lost, and Dawson City has become a lawless settlement.

In its midst, three women are trying to survive on the edge of civilisation. Journalist Kate has travelled hundreds of miles after receiving a letter from her sister, who fears that her husband will kill her. Martha’s hotel is under threat from the local strongman who is buying up the town. And down by the river, Ellen feels her future slip away as her husband fails to find the gold they risked so much to seek.

When a woman is murdered, Kate, Martha and Ellen find their lives, fates and fortunes intertwined. But to unmask her killer, they must navigate a desperate land run by dangerous men who will do anything for a glimpse of gold…

Rich in its setting and characters, The Rush is a gripping historical crime novel perfect for readers of Stef Penney by way of Kristin Hannah and C Pam Zhang.
