Publisher's summary

A story of second chances and secrets, this mysterious Regency romance will transport you to nineteenth-century England where a young lady reunites with her childhood love to find his missing sister.

Her friend is missing.

After five years abroad, Charity Halliwell returns to Loxby Manor, the home of dear friends—and her lost love. No longer a young girl, she is now haunted by a painful secret and the demise of her dreams. She hopes to find a place of healing and happiness, but instead she encounters a darkness lurking in the shadows of the once-familiar house. Then her friend, Seline, disappears the very night of her arrival, and Charity is determined to uncover the truth.

Her only hope is the man who broke her heart.

Branded a coward, Piers Cavanaugh has lived the last five years as an outcast far from his family home. When his sister presumably elopes with a stable hand, Piers joins forces with an unlikely partner—the one woman he thought he’d never see again. Together they launch an investigation that leads to strange nightly meetings in the ruins of an old abbey and disturbing whispers of a secret organization. The more they learn, the more desperate the situation becomes.

The house seems determined to keep its secrets.

As they struggle to piece together the clues, Charity and Piers also endeavor to rebuild their friendship. One cryptic letter changed everything between them. To find happiness they must overcome the grief and shame keeping them apart. But first they must discover why Seline vanished and confront the growing fear that she may never return.

Settle in, because once you start The Vanishing at Loxby Manor, you won’t be able to put it down.

Critic reviews

“Weaving a shadow of mystery among the gilded countryside of Regency England, Wilson's tale of love lost, buried shame, and secret societies is a delicious blend of romance and intrigue. Splash in gorgeous historical Regency details, and murder brewing around every stone, and readers will be burning through the pages until the riveting end.” (J'nell Ciesielski, author of The Socialite)

“A gothic romance that is filled with great characters and a mystery that unfolds chapter by chapter. A perfect blend of mystery, family relationships, lost years, and star-crossed love. Be warned, you won't be able to walk away from these characters.” (Cara Putman, award-winning author of Flight Risk)

Incredible!

Abigail Wilson had me so entranced by this story. The flow of the story, the imagery, the poetic descriptions that make you feel like you are right there watching everything transpire, I greatly enjoyed it all. Laura Kirman read the book in a way that was also very captivating. The changes of emotion in her voice were so perfect that I felt my heart racing at the more mysterious, intriguing, parts. This book is the perfect mixture of romance and mystery without compromising the clean aspect of this book-- which I so appreciated. Would definitely read/listen again!

Well written mystery

The author did a great job of keeping you guessing. I also enjoyed the old time period and that it took place in Britain.

Very good story

Sad at points but filled with powerful emotions and it shows that you never really know what people are capable of.

Murder Mystery, Some Romance

This was a very creative story with subtle but ongoing second chance romance. All while there are multiple mysteries to be solved and the entirety of the story to get to it; clue by clue gets put together by our main characters. The murderer was an interesting surprise! There is heavy content though, including multiple murders involving characters we get to know throughout the story... Can't say I enjoy that. There are also a lot of French politics if that interests you. I held out for the romance and resolution of the various mysteries, which were all summed up very well. It was a long time getting there is all. Narrator does great with all the various characters!

Classic Mystery. Top Tier Narration.

A classic! This novel kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation in various ways. This is the first time I've read/listened to a book from this author — overall, I really enjoyed it! I love the way it was written, I could stay engaged with the story without being shell shocked into staying. As for the narrator.. Somebody give her a raise!! Phenomenal! Her performance + accent = perfect fit for the characters/background of this book. The narration definitely contributed to my enjoyment of this book. I will be purchasing more books from this author in the near future. I highly recommend!

Great Story

Both the book and the narrator were wonderful. The story line was very very tricky and just when you thought you had it something else happens and you’re lost again!
