Set
in England in the early 1800s, In the Shadow of Croft
Towers has an overriding feel of
darkness just waiting for a light to bore its way through. The light
was brought by Sybil Delafield. An orphan who had been sponsored at a
distinguished girls school, Sybil had come to Croft Towers not only
to fill the role of companion to Mrs. Chalcroft, but also to find the
answers to questions about her parentage and her connection to the
people who resided there. She held those questions secret, but she
was not alone in that, each resident of croft Towers was keeping
secrets of their own, secrets covering sins of the past and secrets
covering sins of the here and now. One among them was likely a
traitor to England, and possibly a murderer, and one was most
definitely a desperate highwayman, or was he?
If
you are in the mood for intrigue with a side of romance, this book is
just the one for you. It reminded me of reading Phyllis Whitney
novels in my younger days. I give it five stars. I received a
complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley.
Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
