After her mother is almost murdered, a young woman takes a job at a Cornish manor riddled with secrets in this gripping gothic saga. When Tamsin Hardy returns home from her post as a lady’s maid to attend her beloved mother’s sickbed, her childhood playmate Isobel Penrose offers her a post as her companion at Trevarrah House. Tamsin reluctantly accepts, but she feels instinctively uneasy about Trevarrah House despite her growing attraction to Isobel’s brother Adam, recently returned from the war in America. There is a bitter rivalry between Adam and his brother Nicholas, and Tamsin increasingly fears for her growing involvement with the Penrose family . . . Perfect for fans of Linda Finlay and Gloria Cook. Praise for The Penrose Treasure“A lost treasure, a little romance, an old murder, and a surprise villain: once again Tanner, in the tradition of Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt, conjures up an excellent gothic you can’t put down until the last villain is revealed.” —Booklist
