Even the most glamorous stately houses hide secrets and lies from the past...

For fans of Downton Abbey and the Gilded Age, with a dose of cosy crime, set against the backdrop of the glorious Cotswolds landscape.

Flora Maguire is now happily married to Bunny Harrington and living in Richmond when she receives an alarming telegram informing her of her father's tragic death in a riding accident at Cleeve Abbey.

Heartbroken, Flora and Bunny return to her former home, where she was governess to Eddy, Viscount Trent, and her father was butler to Earl Trent.

Flora's intention was to bury him next to Lily, her mother, who sadly passed away when Flora was a small child.

Mystery surrounds the final resting place of Lily. No-one is willing to talk and, with her father now dead in a suspicious accident, Flora must once again strive alone to uncover hidden family secrets and terrible betrayals.
