Synopsis

England, 1922.

Times are hard. Anne Chatham is a clever, modest young woman with little money, no prospects for marriage, and a never-shared secret—she can see spirits.

Anne finds employment as a typist at Northfield House, the grand country manor of the Wellington family. Her employer, the wheelchair-bound Mr. Wellington, is kindly. His haughty wife is not. He has two handsome sons, the wry and dashing Thomas and the dark and somber Owen.

Anne feels sure her prayers have been heard. Until the terrifying night she stumbles upon a tortured spirit roaming the dark halls of Northfield, a spirit that only she can see. In a search for answers, she finds herself drawn to Owen as they unearth a tragic story from the Wellington family's past—a beautiful young bride gone missing on her wedding day.

Then tragedy strikes again on the night of a glittering masquerade ball . . .

Excellent homage to the 70’s Gothic Romance subgenre. Very well written and engaging. It doesn’t get a perfect rating just because the culprit was extremely obvious (it was practically the only suspect!).......more

More of a 4 1/2 stars because I did really enjoy this novel. Gloomy romance with a gothic feel and the right amount of creepy.......more
