Released: 3.6.18
Blurb:
Sebastian Gage returns home to battle the ghosts of his past and prevent them from destroying his future with Kiera in the latest exciting installment in this national bestselling series.
July 1831. It's been fifteen years since Sebastian Gage has set foot in Langstone Manor. Though he has shared little with his wife, Lady Kiera Darby, about his past, she knows that he planned never to return to the place of so many unhappy childhood memories. But when an urgent letter from his grandfather reaches them in Dublin, Ireland, and begs Gage to visit, Kiera convinces him to go.
All is not well at Langstone Manor. Gage's grandfather, the Viscount Tavistock, is gravely ill, and Gage's cousin Alfred has suddenly vanished. He wandered out into the moors and never returned. The Viscount is convinced someone or something other than the natural hazards of the moors is to blame for Alfred's disappearance. And when Alfred's brother Rory goes missing, Kiera and Gage must concede he may be right. Now, they must face the ghosts of Gage's past, discover the truth behind the local superstitions, and see beyond the tricks being played by their very own eyes to expose what has happened to Gage's family before the moors claim yet another victim...
WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE?
I bought this last year from the Book Outlet during their Boxing Day Clearance event becuase I planned to catch up on the whole series. I love this atmospheric and oftentimes dark and emotional series with a good historical setting and mystery, but also a surprisingly well done long developing romance for the main detecting pair.
I'm getting there and am now have this one and the last two. For an added incentive, I picked this series for Michelle and Berls @Because Reading's Can You Read a Series in a Month event.
