In the Shadows of Croft Towers - A Book Review

In the Shadows of Croft Towers is a novel that will intrigue you from the first page. There is so much mystery surrounding every character and I so enjoyed how it all played out.

Historic fiction  is my favorite genre and suspense and mystery is a very close second, so this book was a win for me. Two of my favorites within one book.  There is a balance of mystery and romance and this new author is someone I will be keeping my eye out for!

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.

With murderers, smugglers, and spies on the loose, nothing—and no one—in Regency England is what they claim. Can Sybil even trust what she knows about herself?
