The shadow hour

Plot

It was in the shadow hours of deepest night that this tapestry of lies fell to rags . . . Harriet Jenner is just twenty-one when she walks through the gates of Fenix House. Reeling from a personal tragedy, she doesn't expect her new life as a governess to be easy. But she certainly doesn't foresee the spell Fenix House will cast. Almost fifty years later, Harriet's granddaughter Grace follows in her footsteps. For Grace, raised on Harriet's mesmerizing stories, Fenix House is a fairy tale; magical place suspended in time. Now its grandeur is faded and, as the holes start to appear in Harriet's story, Grace finds herself in a place of secrets and shadows. For Fenix House hides truths about her family, and everything she thought she knew is about to change. 'A perfect gothic, big-house mystery that kept me turning the pages. Very well written - I really enjoyed it.' Katherine Webb, bestselling author of The Night Falling
