This novel is set in England during the early 1800s. Sisters Abigail and Louisa remain unmarried despite a sizable dowry until a poor investment forces the family to sell their London house and let (rent) the home of a distant relative they don’t even know in a small village outside London. Younger sister Louisa initially remains in London with her mother for her season while older, responsible Abigail heads to Pembrooke Park with her father to set up their new home, despite the disappointment of leaving long-time friend, Gilbert, before his tour of Italy and without an offer of marriage. Upon arriving at Pembrooke Park, she finds an old estate perfectly preserved from the last family living there. It looked as if the family had fled suddenly, leaving behind everything just as they were using it. Rumor has it there is hidden treasure in the haunted house, but nobody in the village will talk about it. The past, the family, the treasure remain a mystery until Abigail starts receiving anonymous letters, possibly written by a former occupant. As the intriguing story unfolds, does Abigail find love in unexpected places? Can she overcome her insecurity about her younger, more beautiful sister? And, is there really a secret room with hidden treasure? You will just have to read it and see. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
