Synopsis from Good Reads:
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?
I’ve read a lot of Julie Klassen books and have enjoyed many of them. While her last couple of books have been a bit of a disappointment for me (especially The Dancing Master), I’m looking forward to her next book and hoping it’s as good as the first ones I’ve read.
The Secret of Pembrooke Park is available December 2, 2014.
WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU WAITING ON?
Sounds like an interesting book. The book I’ve been waiting on recently is Clariel by Garth Nix. Out yesterday. 🙂 Now I just need to go get it…
I’ve been seeing the name Garth Nix around a lot lately, but I’ve never read him. I hope you enjoy it!
This sounds like an interesting book. I’m waiting for Shadow Study by Maria V Snyder. Still got ages to wait! 🙂
I haven’t started that series yet. Is this the same author as the inside out/outside in books?
Yes it’s the same author. I haven’t read the Inside out series as yet though! Have you?
Yes. It was ok, but not anything great. I think I liked the first book better than the second, but I can’t remember haha
Haha the first book is usually the best!
Hmmm… I have never heard of this one! I’ll have to look into it. Here’s my #wow : http://shereadssheblogs.com/2014/10/15/waiting-on-wednesday-5/
Doesn’t sound like my cup of tea, but then again I’m really picky. I’m waiting for Exquisite Captive. It’s about a Genie. 🙂
Not every book is for everyone! I haven’t heard of Exquisite Captive. I’ll need to look it up!
