# Thornby Manor by Stephanie Bramwell-Lawes (Hardback)

**Penniless and newly orphaned Briar Monroe finds shelter at Thornby Manor, a brooding estate above a mist-shrouded lake. But whispers of a dead wife, an estranged son and locked-away secrets haunt its corridors ... Atmospheric, intoxicating and laced with peril - a spellbinding historical mystery of love, betrayal, obsession and a house that will not release its past...**

Warwickshire, 1891. Recently orphaned and left destitute, Briar Monroe accepts the protection of Lord Danville and the shadowed sanctuary of Thornby Manor. The great house looms above a mist-shrouded lake, its corridors heavy with secrets - not least the mysterious death of Lady Elizabeth Danville, and the unspoken tensions between her formidable widower and his magnetic son, Gabriel.

As Briar navigates the undercurrents of a household ruled by watchful servants and locked doors, she is drawn ever deeper into a web of suspicion, desire and fear. Whispers in the night, figures at windows, and a constant sense of being watched leave her questioning not only the truth about Thornby, but her own safety within its walls.

Atmospheric, intoxicating and laced with peril, **_Thornby Manor_** is a gothic tale of betrayal, obsession and a house that never forgets.

**A simmering, haunting debut for readers who loved _Jane Eyre, Rebecca, The Woman in White_ and _The Silent Companions_**
