2014 Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee Praise for Julie Klassen "A
remarkable tale with many unpredictable twists and turns."--CBA
Retailers+Resources "A treat for [readers] who want their
historical romances served up with a generous dash of
mystery."--Booklist "[Klassen's] work appeals to all who seek a
riveting Regency romance."--RT Book Reviews Abigail Foster is the
practical daughter. She fears she will end up a spinster,
especially as she has little dowry, and the one man she thought
might marry her seems to have fallen for her younger, prettier
sister. Facing financial ruin, Abigail and her father search for
more affordable lodgings, until a strange solicitor arrives with an
astounding offer: the use of a distant manor house abandoned for
eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing Pembrooke Park and
are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly left: tea cups
encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a doll's
house left mid-play... The handsome local curate welcomes them, but
though he and his family seem acquainted with the manor's past, the
only information they offer is a stern warning: Beware trespassers
drawn by rumors that Pembrooke Park contains a secret room filled
with treasure. This catches Abigail's attention. Hoping to restore
her family's finances--and her dowry--Abigail looks for this
supposed treasure. But eerie sounds at night and footprints in the
dust reveal she isn't the only one secretly searching the house.
Then Abigail begins receiving anonymous letters, containing clues
about the hidden room and startling discoveries about the past. As
old friends and new foes come calling at Pembrooke Park, secrets
come to light. Will Abigail find the treasure and love she
seeks...or very real danger?
