Agatha Christie meets Jane Austen in this atmospheric Regency tale
brimming with mystery, intrigue, and romance. When Miss Rebecca
Lane returns to her home village after a few years away, her
brother begs for a favor: go to nearby Swanford Abbey and deliver
his manuscript to an author staying there who could help him get
published. Feeling responsible for her brother's desperate state,
she reluctantly agrees. The medieval monastery turned grand hotel
is rumored to be haunted. Once there, Rebecca begins noticing
strange things, including a figure in a hooded black gown gliding
silently through the abbey's cloisters. For all its renovations and
veneer of luxury, the ancient foundations seem to echo with
whispers of the past--including her own. For there she encounters
Sir Frederick--magistrate, widower, and former neighbor--who long
ago broke her heart. When the famous author is found murdered in
the abbey, Sir Frederick begins questioning staff and guests and
quickly discovers that several people held grudges against the man,
including Miss Lane and her brother. Haunted by a painful betrayal
in his past, Sir Frederick searches for answers but is torn between
his growing feelings for Rebecca and his pursuit of the truth. For
Miss Lane is clearly hiding something. . . .
