The Mill House Mystery

Some houses keep their secrets better than others. In the quiet English town of Dourville, a handsome old mill house stands beside a stream that once powered a busy paper mill. It is here that a young woman, Rhoda Pembury, is brought to recover after being rescued from a near-fatal bicycle accident by the baronet Sir Robert Hadlow. As she convalesces, her admiration for her gallant rescuer deepens into something more complicated: Sir Robert is soon to marry the beautiful Lady Sarah. Rhoda is quick to spot what others overlook. Observant and sensitive, she begins to sense the tensions, glances and unspoken feelings moving beneath the polished surface of the household, and soon finds herself drawn into a web of secrets and suspicion she never meant to uncover. Torn between her heart and her conscience, she must decide what to see, what to say and whom to trust. Florence Warden (1857–1929), prolific mystery writer and author of The House on the Marsh and The Inn by the Shore, brings her gift for atmosphere and suspense to this tale of love, jealousy and hidden motives. With its English country setting, its absorbing plot and its quietly determined heroine, The Mill House Mystery is a treat for fans of classic mystery, vintage romance and old-fashioned suspense.
