The mysterious and atmospheric debut novel for fans of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Stacey Halls and Bridget Collins
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT CROWN AWARD*
'I loved this fresh take on the gothic genre. Vivid, haunting, surprising' STACEY HALLS, author of Sunday Times bestsellers The Familiars, The Foundling and Mrs England
'A full-blooded gothic mystery with bite' Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
--------------
'Nobody ever goes to Hartwood Hall . . .'
Margaret Lennox is recently widowed and in need of a position.
It must be far from the past that still haunts her.
She finds what appears to be the perfect engagement:
governess to a child in an isolated country house.
Yet from the first, Hartwood Hall is unwelcoming.
Why do the locals eye her employer,
widowed Mrs Evesham, with suspicion?
What is hidden in the abandoned East Wing?
Who are the strangers coming and going under darkness?
Hartwood Hall conceals mysteries, perhaps even danger.
But Margaret bears her own secret.
One she fears more than anything . . .
'With echoes of Jane Eyre but with a heart of its own' Susan Stokes-Chapman
'A delicious Gothic mystery with an unexpected final twist' Heat
