About this audiobook
England, 1887. Lady Constance Ashworth arrives at Blackwater Hall as its new duchess. The portrait of the previous duchess still hangs in the morning room. Her grave is still freshly tended. The servants still speak of her in the present tense.
Constance tells herself it is grief. Then she finds the locked dressing room, and the gowns inside arranged as though waiting for a body to step into them. Then she finds the coroner's report, and the cause of death that was not fever. Then she hears the scratching behind the east wall of the house.
There was not one duchess before her. There were two. And one of them is still inside Blackwater Hall.
A Victorian historical mystery and an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller, for readers of Wilkie Collins and The Orphanage by the Lake.
