Her friend is missing.
After five years abroad, Charity Halliwell finally returns to Loxby Manor, the home of dear friends—and her lost love. No longer a young girl, she is now haunted by a painful secret and the demise of her dreams. Instead of the healing and happiness she hopes to find, she encounters a darkness lurking in the shadows of the once-familiar house. When her friend, Seline, disappears the very night of her arrival, Charity is determined to uncover the truth.
Her only hope is the man who broke her heart.
Branded a coward, Piers Cavanaugh has lived the last five years as an outcast far from his family home. When his sister presumably elopes with a stable hand, Piers joins forces with an unlikely partner—the one woman he thought he’d never see again. Together they launch an investigation that leads to strange nightly meetings in the ruins of an old abbey and disturbing whispers of a secret organization. The more they learn, the more desperate the situation becomes.
The house seems determined to keep its secrets.
As they struggle to piece together the clues, Charity and Piers also endeavor to rebuild their friendship. One cryptic letter changed everything between them. To find happiness they will have to overcome the grief and shame keeping them apart. But first they must discover why Seline vanished and confront the growing fear that she may never return.
I really enjoyed Abigail Wilson’s previous books and looked forward to reading this one. The Vanishing at Loxby Manor has something of a gothic feel to it. The mystery starts right near the beginning and is weaved throughout the story. Wilson writes some fantastic historical mysteries!
There were lots of twists and turns and some things that kept me guessing about certain characters. I was sad about what happened to one of the characters. I felt like I had grown attached to them and hoped for a happy ending. But in a way it did seem fitting what happened to them.
The Vanishing at Loxby Manor was another excellent book by Wilson.
