In the Shadow of Croft Towers by Abigail Wilson

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.

I found this book to be intriguing.  Sybil doesn't know who she can trust.  Her coach is stopped and robbed on her way to Croft Towers.  Then when she gets there she discovers one of the house guests is one of the highwaymen.  What is she supposed to do?  He asks her to trust him.  Then there's Mrs.Chalcroft.  She seems to have totally lost it.  But she creeps into her room in the middle of the night to ask special favors.  Is she sane or not?

A great read that I would recommend to every one.  This isn't an edge of your seat suspense.  But is has lots of mystery.

I was given this book by Thomas Nelson via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
