The Mill House Mystery

The Mill House Mystery

Florence Warden

1911

A summer afternoon in the quiet town of Dourville. That's all it takes to upend Rhoda Pembury's life - a bicycle, a treacherous hill, and the arms of Sir Robert Hadlow, baronet, pulling her from the edge of death. Convalescing in the old Mill House with its dark walls and whispering gardens, Rhoda finds herself caught in something far more dangerous than a broken collarbone. She admires the man who saved her. But Sir Robert is betrothed to Lady Sarah, a beautiful woman whose charm masks something sharper. As Rhoda navigates the complicated terrain of gratitude, admiration, and unease, she begins to notice what the household would prefer she didn't: locked rooms, averted eyes, the particular silence that follows certain questions. The Mill House holds secrets. And someone in Dourville will do anything to keep them buried.
