In the Shadow of Croft Towers

A Regency Romance

By: Abigail Wilson

Narrated by: Laura Kirman

Nothing—and no one—at Croft Towers is what they claim in this Gothic Regency romance.

When Sybil Delafield’s coach to Croft Towers was robbed by highwaymen, she should have realized that her new position as companion to old Mrs. Chalcroft would be no ordinary job. Upon Sybil’s arrival, Mrs. Chalcroft sneaks into her room in the dark of night, imploring her to relay messages to town that are to stay hidden from the rest of the family. Who exactly is she working for and what do the messages contain?

When fellow passengers of the robbed coach are later murdered, Sybil’s hunt for the truth takes on a new urgency. The only person she can rely on is Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Chalcroft’s godson, but under all his charms he too leads a double life. Sybil must decide if he is the one honest voice she can trust, or if he is simply using her for his own advances.

Croft Towers holds more than its share of secrets . . . and Sybil is determined to uncover them all.

Absolutely wonderful

This book was wonderful from storyline to presentation. I am an avid reader and I can say with all honesty that this is in the top 5 books I’ve ever read. I could not put it down and read and reread certain sections (to make sure I had it straight in my mind) an entire day. I hope I can find another book by this author and presenters to enjoy again. The twists were awesome and surprising. Top 5 books I’ve ever read and that’s in the hundreds!!!

I love this book!

The narration is just great! I've listened to this 3 times now in about 2 weeks :) love how it ends, fantastic book

Brilliant!
