An exceptional novel of dark family secrets - danger lurks behind every shadow in Mary Stewart's classic novel of romantic suspense.

Ashley Court: the tumbledown ancestral home of the Ashley family, all blessed with 'the gift' of being able to speak to each other without words. When Bryony Ashley's father dies under mysterious circumstances, his final words a cryptic warning to her, Bryony returns from abroad to uncover Ashley Court's secrets. What did her father's message mean? What lies at the centre of the overgrown maze in the gardens? And who is trying to prevent Bryony from discovering the truth?

Tell Bryony. The cat, it's in the cat on the pavement. The map. The letter. In the brook. Tell Bryony. My little Bryony to be careful. Danger.

'A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.' Harriet Evans

I've read this book in the past, but this is a new audiobook for me. I already loved the story, and Zoe Mills' narration only added to it. I enjoyed the snippets of the other tragic love story the began each of the chapters. Following it and the rest of it was a delight.

Loved it!

Although written in the late 1960’s she writes a stellar can’t put it down mystery. Lots of unexpected turns. And a bonus love story

This story had some odd elements, but writing style and performance were great, but it was a little hard to take some of the story seriously.

As with all her novels this one did not disappoint! I think The Gabriel Hounds may still be my favorite but Thunder on the Right is also such a good read! Ok just read them, it’s worth your credit! Narrator was 10/10!! Excellent.

Engrossing 👍🏻

This was my first Mary Stuart story. I am hooked.
What a writer and story teller! If you love tales about old aristocratic houses and tumbling families, don't miss this one.

Most enjoyable tale, even if far off real life. But when heard chapter after chapter at the dusks of a winter week, it sounded just about right.

Such a nice tale
