Book Description: When Sybil Delafield’s coach to Croft Towers was robbed by highwaymen, she should have realized that her new position as companion to old Mrs. Chalcroft would be no ordinary job. Upon Sybil’s arrival, Mrs. Chalcroft sneaks into her room in the dark of night, imploring her to relay messages to town that are to stay hidden from the rest of the family. Who exactly is she working for and what do the messages contain?
When fellow passengers of the robbed coach are later murdered, Sybil’s hunt for the truth takes on a new urgency. The only person she can rely on is Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Chalcroft’s godson, but under all his charms he too leads a double life. Sybil must decide if he is the one honest voice she can trust, or if he is simply using her for his own advances.
My Thoughts: A debut author, Abigail Wilson, takes into the regency era with mystery, suspense and a touch of class.
It's been awhile since I've read a regency romance but it's the New Year and a new author so this makes for a great read! and the book cover is fantastic as well...inviting the reader to come on a journey of mystic.
Sybil Delafield is taking on a new job as companion to Mrs. Chalcroft but little does she know that this will be the ride of her life.
Danger, mystery, and a bit of romance.
This is a great read for all fans of mystery.....not just for regency romance readers.
Sometimes one must take a chance in life. Chance meetings are, sometimes the best of meetings. Such is the case for Abigail Wilson.
The twisting and turning of events keeps the reader turning the page in anticipation of the next event.
A grandastic new read!
