This suspenseful mystery, treasure hunt, light romance is set in Regency England. Phoebe Radcliffe (daughter of Lord Torrington from a previous book) is an artist working for Miss Drake to refurbish the paint in the ballroom of Avonthorpe Manor. Her childhood friend Daniel is helping. Miss Drake’s nephew Lt. Graham Burke arrived for an unexpected visit along with his friend Mr. Montague which brings new tension to the house. Miss Drake is attacked and in her final moments, whisper/shares the hiding place of the clues to find the long lost family treasure. She asks Phoebe to tell no one. Miss Chant is Phoebe’s companion and together they start looking for the treasure. Soon there is an interest between Lt. Burke and Phoebe and they join forces to look for the treasure.
There are others looking for the treasure too. The butler, Arnold, the strange couple living there, the Fagens and Mr. Haskell, a local resident with ties to the family history.
Then Phoebe encounters the man she had feelings for two years ago, Jean Cloutier, who is a French spy and used her innocence to escape from her father. She finally sees him for what he is and comes to grips with how he used her.
I like the building relationship with Lt. Burke and how they learn to trust each other despite all the turmoil around them. A delightful story with twists and turns and hope for dreamers.… (mais)
