Even the most glamorous stately homes hide secrets and lies from the past...
When Flora Maguire receives an alarming telegram informing her of her father's tragic death in a riding accident, she races back from London to her childhood home.
But when Flora and her new husband, Bunny, get to Cleeve Abbey - where she was once Governess to Eddy, Viscount Trent, and her father was butler to Earl Trent - it's all is not well.
Flora's intention was to bury her father next to Lily, her mother, who sadly passed away when Flora was a small child. But it turns out that a mystery surrounds the whereabouts of Lily's final resting place.
No-one is willing to talk. And, with her father now dead in what seems like a suspicious accident, Flora must now strive alone to uncover hidden family secrets. And a terrible betrayal with the power to change everything...
A cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and
Downton Abbey
, and set in the glorious Cotswolds landscape.
