Fans of Julie Klassen are going to delight in this new Gothic mystery. Anne Loveday is a surgeon-apothecary's daughter who has learned quite a bit assisting her father over the years. In an attempt to escape her stepmother's matchmaking ways, Anne goes to visit friends in Painswick and soon finds herself taking a position as nurse for one of the village matriarchs.

But echoes of the past and whispers heard around corners soon prove that danger is afoot at Painwick Court. When someone makes an attempt on Lady Celia's life, is Anne in danger too?

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery! The characters are well-developed and easy to follow. The secrets are deep but not so much that they stretch suspension of disbelief. You'll keep turning pages until you reach the final exciting conclusion.

I received my copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts in this review are my own.
