In the Shadow of Croft Towers (Large Print)

Description

Croft Towers holds more than its share of secrets . . . and Sybil is determined to uncover them all. When Sybil Delafields coach to Croft Towers was robbed by highwaymen, she should have realized that her new position as companion to old Mrs. Chalcroft would be no ordinary job. Upon Sybils arrival, Mrs. Chalcroft sneaks into her room in the dark of night, imploring her to relay messages to town that are to stay hidden from the rest of the family. Who exactly is she working for and what do the messages contain? When fellow passengers of the robbed coach are later murdered, Sybils hunt for the truth takes on a new urgency. The only person she can rely on is Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Chalcrofts godson, but under all his charms he too leads a double life. Sybil must decide if he is the one honest voice she can trust, or if he is simply using her for his own advances. With murderers, smugglers, and spies on the loose, nothing--and no one--in Regency England is what they claim. Can Sybil even trust what she knows about herself?
