I did not get to the first in the series. This was the second book but it did not detract from
the story or my interest in the book.

Flora is now very happily married but has just received disturbing news of her father's death
in a riding accident. Going back to the house where she lived and worked as a governess, she finds the circumstances of her father's death strange, and even stranger that a lot of people want to pass
this off as a tragic accident when the signs for Flora are that it is anything but an accident. Getting
even her husband to accept her point of view takes some doing but gradually she unravels a plot
that proves her right.

Finding the culprit however is going to be a tougher struggle against many odds and when you begin to uncover family secrets you are also going to be very unpopular.

A very nice mystery murder cleverly untangled.

Great second installment in the Flora Maguire series by Anita Davison! In fact, I think I'd say I liked it even better than the first:)

A year or better has passed since we last met Flora, and now she and Bunny are married and living at his family estate. Flora receives bad news about her Father, the butler at Cleeve Abbey, and the couple set out to return to her childhood home. Flora isn't satisfied with the information she receives, and begins to ask questions. Intrigues are afoot and buried secrets are coming to the light. Great pace in the book with warm, well-written characters and descriptions that make it easy to picture everything in your mind. I look forward to seeing what Flora and Bunny get up to in their next adventure!

**Many thanks to NetGalley, Anita Davison, and Aria Publishers for a copy to read and review!**

In this second book of Flora Maguire's adventures she has now been married to Bunny Harrington for over a year when she is told of the death of her father - butler at Cleeve Abbey. All she wants is to be sure that the death was accident as she starts to ask questions, but her dreams have come back to haunt her.
Some lovely characters and descriptions as the mysteries of the past and present unravel.
