Publisher's summary

The second novel in the Ashmore Castle series, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey, from the author of the hugely successful Morland Dynasty novels.

Behind the doors of the magnificent Ashmore Castle, secrets are waiting to be uncovered...

England, 1903.

Giles, the new Earl of Stainton, is struggling to bring his family's estate back to order after the death of his father, and he has little time to spare for his young pregnant wife, Kitty. She lives in fear of her mother-in-law, who won't give up the reins of the household. Will she ever truly be mistress of Ashmore Castle? Perhaps if her coming child is a boy, that will change the balance of power...

Meanwhile, the Earl's younger sisters are having their first taste of romance, but not necessarily with the right people. Richard is pursuing his forbidden relationship with Molly, while Nina makes a lively new friend who leads her straight into trouble and pushes her relationship with her husband to the limit.

And below stairs, ambition, jealousy and revenge stalk the corridors, while a tragic suicide, a tender romance, and finally a mysterious disappearance challenge the castle's residents, both high and low...

The second novel in the Ashmore Castle historical family drama series, filled with heartbreak, romance and intriguing secrets waiting to be uncovered. The perfect story for fans of Downton Abbey, Bridgerton and rich period dramas.

mediocre

Liked the characters and felt they were well developed given the long length of the book. The story lines were developed in detail but none had adequate closure. The ending was abrupt and felt unfinished. For example Richard and Dora- left hanging there. No idea how Nina and Joseph ended up. None of the male characters were particularly nice people. Just an odd concoction of stories that weren’t well connected or ended. Narration was good.

Not as good

I listened to the whole book and I just couldn’t enjoy it like I did the first one.
The last chapter was by far the best part.
