Description
Lady Georgiana Rannoch returns from her honeymoon feeling somewhat restless. Her new role as mistress of Eynsleigh is proving challenging, with her cook, Queenie, causing chaos and her husband Darcy away on another secret mission. When her friend Belinda inherits a cottage in Cornwall, she invites Lady Georgiana to visit, hoping for some company. Upon arrival at the old cottage called White Sails, they discover it's uninhabitable, but are soon invited to stay at Trewoma Hall by Rose Summers, a woman Belinda knew as a child. The idyllic estate is not what Belinda remembered, with an oppressive atmosphere and a housekeeper who seems overly efficient. As tensions rise, Tony and Belinda's past comes back to haunt them, making their visit increasingly awkward. However, things take a deadly turn when a member of the household is found murdered, and all clues point to Belinda as the prime suspect. A Gothic tale of betrayal, deception, and murder unfolds, with Lady Georgiana caught in the middle. Can she help her friend clear her name and uncover the truth behind the tragic events at Trewoma Hall?
