Summary
Julie Klassen Is the Top Name in Inspirational regency Romance Abigail Foster fears she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry to improve her charms and the one man she thought might marry her-a longtime friend-has fallen for her younger, prettier sister. When financial problems force her family to sell their London home, a strange solicitor arrives with an astounding offer: the use of a distant manor house abandoned for eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing Pembrooke Park and are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly left: tea cups encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a doll's house left mid-play ... The handsome local curate welcomes them, but though he and his family seem to know something about the manor's past, the only information they offer Abigail is a warning: Beware trespassers who may be drawn by rumors that Pembrooke contains a secret room filled with treasure. Hoping to improve her family's financial situation, Abigail surreptitiously searches for the hidden room, but the arrival of anonymous letters addressed to her, with clues about the room and the past, bring discoveries even more startling. As secrets come to light, will Abigail find the treasure and love she seeks ... or very real danger?

Sloooooow to start and got a bit too “religion-y” near the end, but a good mystery to solve and a good ending. Narrator was a bit high-brow sounding in the beginning but I got used to it.

I loved this listen. I could hardly put it down. often, I dismiss the details surrounding the plot. not this time. the description was so artfully stated I could see the house and all its grandeur the description of the gowns, everything wasn't boring as I usually think. The narration was superb. I had no trouble discerning between the characters, and there was none of that tedious, "he said,"she said. " That plagues a lot of audiobooks.if you like historical novels, with a bit mystery and romance, this listen is for you!

I found the narrator’s voice a bit whiny at first but it improved. Story keeps you interested to the end although it’s a bit far fetched.

Oh my gosh I loved this book! Couldn’t put it down! It’s totally not my usual genre but it captivated me from the word go. Plenty of twists and turns, some more obvious than others and a gentle love story to pull it all together. A simply delightful read! And kudos to the narrator for managing all those different voices and characters!

I enjoyed this book very much with it’s twists, secrets, crime, mystery and love story. It was my first read by Julie Klassen and I will be back for more. It kept the reader hanging for answers. The narration took me a moment to get used to, but very well vocalised. Five stars from me.
