About this ebook

For readers who delight in eccentric characters, gothic mansions, and romantic Regency mysteries, bestselling author Patricia Rice introduces the Gravesyde Priory Mysteries—a series brimming with intrigue, wit, and whispers of romance.

 Wycliffe Manor, where secrets linger in crumbling halls and danger walks by candlelight…

 Clarissa Knightley, the impoverished relation of daring—and now deceased— aristocrats, barely supports herself by writing gothic novels. When she unexpectedly inherits a portion of a remote ancestor’s estate, Clare hopes to find family and a secure haven for herself and her young nephew.

Instead, she discovers a brooding American army captain, his intimidating servant, and caretakers as ancient and unfriendly as the stones themselves. Horrified, prepared to return home, Clare is lured to linger by the prospect of secret diaries, hidden jewels, and an increasingly intriguing man—

Until a killer shatters their uneasy truce. Clare must untangle the manor’s sinister history before she becomes fodder for her own novels. Because at Gravesyde Priory, every shadow hides a threat—and the dead are not the only ones who keep secrets.

What a great start to a new series. This is a historical mystery set in regency England with the assorted quirky characters and atmospheric setting that you expect from a Patricia Rice book. Connections and unforeseen events brings people together and there are bonds other than blood that make a family. I liked Clara and Hunt and Meera and Walker and their determination to create a better future for themselves and the people in the district. A great read.

I will just say. this is the most fun, interesting, and original regency series I have read in a long time. Bravo to Patricia Rice for finding characters outside the usual regency tropes.
