Description

A Haunting at Holkham by Anne Glenconner In January 1950, Lady Anne Coke returns to her family's estate, Holkham Hall, after a sudden death in the family. She soon discovers a mystery: her beloved grandfather has been found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs with a valuable piece of jewelery in his pocket. As no one can find a cause of death, Anne's suspicions are aroused, and she is determined to uncover the truth. During World War II, Holkham Hall was an army base, and Anne was in the care of a new governess, whom she hated and believed to be deceitful. She used secret passageways and cellars to move around unnoticed, and something she saw then could unlock the mystery of her grandfather's death. A gripping novel of wartime secrets, intrigue, and deceit, A Haunting at Holkham is a thrilling tale of family, loyalty, and the power of the past to shape the present. Rich in historical detail, this novel weaves together a complex web of events and emotions, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
