When Saul, Hattie's protege is killed she finds comfort at Mandeville house.

She stumbles across a mystery and here is where the story really begins.

I just adored this book.it is a beautfully told tale and wonderfully written.
I have not read the the series but this stands well as a standalone. I will go and discover the other books as this is dr=efinitely a series I know I will enjoy.

Although part of a series, this works well as a standalone book. It is 1937, and Hetty is devastated after her young friend Saul is assaulted and killed. There is also a liaison that she is ashamed of. When she goes to a family friend's home to take photos, quite mysterious things start happening. We also find out the backstory of her grandfather and his friends. This is a story about finding yourself, helping others, healing and redemption. It comes together quite well in the end, and there is a very satisfying epilogue. The main characters Hetty and Rhys were believable and sensible. There was a bit of supernatural, but not enough to ruin the story. The historical background made for interesting reading. Thanks to NetGalley for a chance to read and review this book.

This was a strong fourth novel in the Mandeville Mystery series, it had that concept that I enjoyed from the previous books. The characters were great and worked with the story being told. I enjoyed going through this and had that mystery element that I wanted. Callie Langridge has a great way of telling the stories and was glad I got to read this.

Not having read the previous novels in the series, I didn't feel it was necessary for reading this 4th installment. It's not a quick read, but I really enjoyed getting to know Hattie. I would recommend this to fans of historical fiction.

Thank you, NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the fourth installment of the Mandeville House series and I think my favorite. No need to read all the others to dig into this, but helpful to know that this house is unique and that time travel IS possible in this world.
I have loved that the house plays a big part in each book, and is a character of it's own. Mandeville helps those in need. Sometimes that need is love, and the storylines of all three are fantastic.

In this edition, our FMC is Hettie Turner. It's 1937 and her protege has died suspiciously so in her guilt and grief she flees to the Mandeville House as a distraction, she's been called on for an unusual task.

Hettie is my favorite of all the main characters in this series. She's determined and smart as a whip. As Hettie sets to the task of cataloging antiques collected by the head of house, she learns he recently passed, and something about the family dynamics if off.

I don't want to spoil the rest, but this is light enough to move through quickly, but emotional enough to have me cry a few tears, I highly recommend it. Since it is not set to release until January 2025, all the more reason to grab the first three is the series and start them ASAP.

I was invited to review this book by the publisher. This is the fourth installment in a series, but reading the others before this book is not necessary to understand the flow of the book. This book is set in 1937, and follows Hettie, a photojournalist who's understudy dies suspiciously. She goes to Hill House to get away from her sadness. Hill House is the family home of the Mandeville family, and Hettie is supposed to help catalog the antiques secured by the head of the household who has recently passed. As Hettie delves into her task, she also learns of a legend that a curse has struck the family due to a curse on one of the antiques. Stranger things then start to happen as Hettie gets deeper into her task.

This was a good atmospheric read, and I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the different artifacts and the hold on the house and family. It was a unique method to present the storyline. I especially loved the character of Hettie; she was a stronger, independent woman who was not afraid to pursue what she wanted, and I appreciated how the author depicted this character. This was an enjoyable read that I am interested to pursue the other books in the series.
