The Vanishing of Loxby Manor

 











The Vanishing of Loxby Manor, by Abigail Wilson, is a mystery with questions around every corner.  This tale takes place in England in the early 1800s.  Charity Halliwell returns home after years away.  She is planning on spending some time with her childhood friend, Seline Cavanaugh, and Charity soon discovers that Saline is as flighty as she remembered.  Seline has acted inappropriately with the family stable hand and her mother feels the family reputation will be ruined.  The situation gets even worse when Seline disappears the very evening that Charity arrives!

Charity soon teams up with Piers Cavanaugh, the elder son in the Cavanaugh family, in an attempt to discover where Seline could be.  As Piers and Charity were formerly friends,  it is interesting to see how this friendship is revived with all the time they spend together as they search!

This tale is full of unknowns and many dark moments before you are finally able to put the pieces of this mystery together and discover what really happened to Seline!
