Nothing—and no one—at Croft Towers is what they claim in this Gothic Regency romance.
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.
Croft Towers holds more than its share of secrets . . . and Sybil is determined to uncover them all.

Spännande från första sidan till sista. Har knappt inga naglar kvar. 😉Bra uppläsare. Lite tråkig röst på den manliga huvudkaraktären, vill be honom harkla sig varje gång ”han” pratar. Förutom det lilla irritationsmomentet, var det en härlig bokupplevelse

Except for a few errors in period telling* there are some pieces that are good. But “the mystery” is only a mystery for around half a chapter. This one is painfully obvious. With the plot so obvious and see through, you might set it at twice the speed. That way you only have to wait around four hours for the book to reach its predictable end.
