The Secret of Mowbray Manor

By: Jude Bayton

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

Kathryn Westcott, masquerading as a tutor, accepts a position at the Clayton ancestral home of Mowbray Manor with one objective - to discover the fate of her friend, Lady Aramintha Clayton. Kathryn is horrified when she learns of Aramintha's death and the dubious circumstances surrounding how she died.

Suspecting the family knows more than they are prepared to say, Kathryn forms an alliance with both Clayton sons, and a tenuous friendship with their aloof half-brother Benedict. One of them holds the key to solve the puzzle of Aramintha's demise.

No one is who they pretend to be in this house full of secrets. Someone does not want their villainy exposed, and they will use everything within their power to stop Kathryn from revealing the truth. Even if it means murder.

EASY TO LOVE

When the narrator has a lovely voice and the ability to embody the characters, an already fabulous tale takes on a life of it's own. Interesting characters and the shocking secrets told amid backdrop of a Dorset estate...take us away. I especially like that this story is safe to listen to with anyone...

Fabulous!

I loved this story! It's been so long since I've read a historical Gothic! I'd almost forgotten why I loved them. Jude Bayton is a master of storytelling, her words poetically beautiful. I can't wait to read the rest in this series!

Wonderful Read

This was such a great book, great story and narration. I was completely engaged thru the entire book. Highly recommend.
