A family full of secrets hires Sybil Delafield to be Mrs. Chalcroft’s companion, as an aging Mrs. Chalcroft has but a few months left to live. But, the secrets, letters and family tangles quickly ensnare her. Sybil, agreed to work at Croft Towers in hope of finding answers to her orphaned upbringing, but what she finds is so much more.
In the Shadow of Croft Towers transports you firmly back in time as Sybil navigates the elite societal family in which she’s employed. Author, Abigail Wilson, delivers on historical relevance and strong female characters as Mrs. Chalcroft remains secretive, independent and strong willed despite her ailing condition. From parties, highway thefts and charm, the adventures of Sybil Delafield keep readers engaged as she settles into her new life. I would love to see Wilson give us a follow up novel on several of the other key players in this book, such as Sinclair or even Mrs. Cantrell, as they seemed to be hiding many undisclosed secrets of their own.
