In this captivating Regency tale, a fusion of Agatha Christie's mystery and Jane Austen's romance unfolds. After spending a few years away, Miss Rebecca Lane returns to her home village, where her brother pleads for her help. He requests her to deliver his manuscript to an author staying at nearby Swanford Abbey, hoping that it will secure his publishing deal. Reluctantly, Miss Lane agrees, unaware of the eerie rumors surrounding the monastery-turned-grand hotel. As she settles into her stay, strange occurrences start to unsettle her. She glimpses a mysterious figure dressed in a hooded black gown, haunting the abbey's cloisters. Despite the luxurious renovations and facade of modernity, the ancient foundations seem to hold remnants of the past, including a painful betrayal from her past.
During her investigation, Sir Frederick, a magistrate and widower, becomes involved. He questions the staff and guests, seeking clues to the murder of the famous author. As he delves deeper, he discovers that several individuals held grudges against the deceased man, including Miss Lane and her brother. Haunted by a painful betrayal from his past, Sir Frederick struggles to balance his growing feelings for Rebecca with his pursuit of the truth.
Miss Lane, however, remains enigmatic, hiding something deep within her. As the mystery unfolds, Sir Frederick must navigate a web of lies and secrets, unraveling the truth about the murder and the hidden motivations of those involved. The atmosphere is filled with suspense, as the story takes a turn towards unexpected revelations and a climactic conclusion.
In this captivating blend of mystery and romance, Agatha Christie's atmospheric storytelling meets Jane Austen's intricate character development, creating a tale that will keep readers engaged and guessing until the very end.
