Raleigh Bishop’s perfect life in rural St. Mary’s County, Maryland, has just come to a shattering end. Her naval test pilot husband, Grant, has been killed in a flight accident, and Raleigh is left to pick up the brittle shards of that life. She prefers to stay hidden away in her grief but is unwillingly dragged out of it by the contents of her husband’s will, which contain a shocking bequest.

Grant has left her St. Clements Bluff, an old Bishop family home with a noble background as a stop on the Underground Railroad. But serving as a safe house for escaping slaves in the 19th century is just the beginning of what Raleigh learns is a dark and winding history.

It is a history that someone is willing to keep secret at any cost.

Christine Trent has lived in Southern Maryland for over 30 years and loves the place she calls home—from its beautiful shorelines to its perfect cuisine and unrivaled history. Learn more at www.ChristineTrent.com.

I loved this book chosen by book club. We live in St. Marys Co, MD. We really enjoyed reading this historical fiction of our county. Christine Trent mentioned many local landmarks, local surnames and activities that made the story come alive to a native of the county.
While the story was excellent, the narrator was not the best. She mispronounced 2 local area places and they play a pretty important role in the story and are mention many times. Don't let this dampen your enjoyment. I just yelled, Its PATUXENT not PATONXENT, made me feel better.

Story based in my town

A young widow is surprised to find a home and property (the St. Mary’s Bluff of the title) left to her by her husband who had been working on it, without her knowledge when he died.
The mystery of the house and why he was keeping it up and had not told her of its existence is just the first mystery of many in this well written, exciting story.
Using the background- history and current locations, and the way of life in St. Mary’s County, Maryland the author provides a page-turner which is satisfying on many levels - parts thriller, mystery and romance.
The narrator is perfect. She fits the “voice” of the main character well and offers clear audible choices of the supporting ones without getting in the way of the listener’s experience.
I was enjoying this book so much that I bought the audible version so that I could continue listening while driving!
