In the Shadow of Croft Towers is the debut novel from Abigail Wilson. You will meet Sybil Delafield on the opening pages of this tale. Sybil is fresh out of seminary and she is planning to fill a position as a lady's companion at Croft Towers. The only problem is Sybil's coach is robbed before she can even reach her destination!
When Sybil finally meets her new boss, Mrs. Chalcroft, she learns that her main responsibility is simply to deliver personal letters and to read for this elderly woman. As Sybil walks the halls of this damp and shadowy place, she does not know whom she can count on. Sybil soon finds herself in a position where she does not know whether to trust her boss’s nephew, Mr. Cantrell or her godson, Mr. Sinclair. To make the situation even more complicated, Sybil senses that the secrets to her past are contained within these walls!
This gothic tale, set in the early 1800s in the countryside of England, is full of unknowns and problems to be solved. Hold on as you walk with Sybil, while she looks for the truth in this new world!
It was great to discover a new author, who can tell a very interesting and yet a clean tale!
I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
