The Mandeville Shadow
Totally heartbreaking and unputdownable timeslip historical fiction

The unputdownable third book in the Mandeville series, full of secrets, mystery and romance… It’s the week before Halloween, and Kate Durrant is helping her mother move out of the little cottage her parents used to share, until her father’s sudden, heartbreaking death. Plagued by guilt that she couldn’t visit her dad in the days before he died, Kate now has only memories for company. Memories and… something else. Since she was a small child, Kate has been able to see and feel the history of objects she touches. She’s always kept her gift secret, not knowing fully what it is, or how far she can push it. One evening, while visiting her father’s grave, Kate takes a detour into the shadowy woods behind the church. Wandering the mossy paths, deep in thought, she realises she’s lost her way just as she stumbles upon the wrought-iron gates of Hill House, home to the illustrious Mandeville family. Welcomed in and offered a position on the staff as a housemaid, Kate soon discovers that not all is right within the ornate halls of the manor house. The family’s closely guarded secrets are beginning to unravel and it seems that a spirit from the house’s past is bent on taking revenge. With the clock ticking, will Kate's unique gift, combined with the strength of a love beyond the grave, be enough to save the Mandeville legacy?
