Josse and Helewise are visiting Josse's dying Uncle Hugh and family. Josse has a new, very unpleasant sister-in-law, Cyrille. She not only mistreats her son from her previous marriage, but has turned the household upside down with her selfish, manipulative, know-it-all ways and they knuckle under to her. Why is she so unkind to her son and why has one of Uncle Hugh's daughters, Aeleis, disappeared? A young man, Peter Southey, is an unexpected guest--his horse has slid on the ice and both it and Peter are injured near their home. Who is he and why has he come? Josse and Helewise unravel these mysteries. Incredible twists and turns and very well done. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

February, 1212. Sir Josse d'Acquin and Helewise are summoned to Southfire Hall, where Josse's elderly uncle, Hugh, lies dying, surrounded by his children. But the pair soon discovers that Hugh's ill health is not the only cause of distress in the house: for Hugh's son and heir, Herbert, has taken an unpleasant new wife, the widowed Lady Cyrille. Josse and Helewise are distracted by the discovery of an injured young man on the road outside on the evening of their arrival, but the longer they remain in the house, the more they feel that something is very wrong. What happened to Josse's cousin Aeleis, who no one speaks of? Where is Lady Cyrille's small son? And why do they both feel as if the house itself is alive - and threatened by approaching evil?

I'm happy to say that I liked it so much I read it in 2 days!
Helewise & Josse are headed to his family home to visit his dying Uncle.... What they find is a house protected by a great benevolent spirit, a terrified little boy, a kow-towed family, an Uncles in & out of coherency, an evil daughter-in-law, and a murdered stranger.....
There was quit a bit of intrigue and I was quite happy when "just desserts" were served up....
I liked the characters and I liked the story, it held my interest. ( )
