In the 18th century Franz Mesmer developed a therapeutic system that revolved around his theory of an invisible natural force possessed by all living things. He referred to the system as mesmerism. Others referred to it as animal magnetism. It was at a mesmeric hospital that Amelia Pembroke found herself nearing her second year of therapy for her sleeping sickness. A situation that became more and more complicated after the announcement of her doctor's new will, quickly followed by his death.
Twilight at Moorington Cross is filled with as many twists and turns as the seen and hidden passages of the Cluett Mesmeric Hospital. Very little about this book is predictable, and that is a feature I greatly enjoy, a feature that one can count on from author Abigail Wilson. With a gothic flavor, this book of mystery, romance, and intrigue is the perfect read for a cold winter day. I highly recommend it.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Twilight at Moorington Cross from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
