Though he has shared little with his wife, Lady Kiera Darby, about his past, she knows that he planned never to return to the place of so many unhappy childhood memories.

And when Alfred's brother Rory goes missing, Kiera and Gage must concede he may be right. Now, they must face the ghosts of Gage's past, discover the truth behind the local superstitions, and see beyond the tricks being played by their very own eyes to expose what has happened to Gage's family before the moors claim yet another victim...… (plus d'informations)

As ever, Ms. Huber has done her geographical and historical homework, weaving true details of the age into her story. She writes deftly and exquisitely, noting subtle nuances to things seen and heard. If good historical fiction with a wee bit of romanticism added for good measure appeals, then this series is certainly one you would enjoy. ( )

The first time I laid eyes on Langstone Manor, I could not blame my husband for having stayed away for over fifteen years.
