About this ebook

In the footsteps of Victoria Holt and Jane Aiken Hodge comes a new historical gothic series from Patricia Rice. Like the grand dames of gothic mysteries and romance you loved years ago, the Gravesyde Priory books give you that same "I couldn't put it down" feeling.

In Regency England:

The descendant of adventuring—dead—aristocrats, Clarissa Knightley supplements a modest inheritance by penning gothic novels that cost more than they earn. Upon learning that she has mysteriously inherited a share of an earl’s estate, she rashly packs up her household. In remote Gravesyde Priory, she hopes to find a safe haven and family who will welcome her and her young nephew.

Instead, she discovers a drunken American army captain, his African servant, and ancient, surly caretakers. Terrified, prepared to flee, Clare is lured to linger by the prospect of secret diaries, hidden jewels, and an increasingly intriguing man. Then a killer strikes.

The crumbling manor’s ominous and baffling history offers fascinating fodder for Clare’s horror novels—if only she can survive real-life madmen and a spectral murderer who may seek the jewels at any price.

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.
