Congratulations to J. C. Briggs, whose atmospheric Gothic mystery, The Secrets of Treasonfield House, is out now!
England, 1952
Marie Beaumont has returned to the ruins of Treasonfield House where she was taken in by her Aunt Giselle as a child.
Marie was always fascinated by the old house, but she had a lonely and unhappy childhood there until she was eventually sent away to boarding school.
Giselle is dead now but Marie’s Uncle Ned is still there and Marie wants to know why Giselle always treated her so coldly as a child.
She finds out that Ned worked with the intelligence services during the First World War and he has far more secrets to share about Treasonfield House than she could ever have imagined.
Ned’s story begins in February 1918; an intricate plot involving German soldiers, English spies and secret identities.
But what does it all mean for Marie? Can Ned give her the answers she craves? Will she finally learn the truth about her family history?
And can she finally put to rest the secrets that still lurk at Treasonfield House?
