The Secret of Wyvern Towers
1898
On a May morning, Felix Drelincourt's world shatters. His wife Kate lies murdered in Wyvern Towers, and the discovery of Felix's own handkerchief at the scene casts the first shadow of suspicion upon him. As the Victorian estate coils with secrets, every servant and family member becomes a suspect: the foster brother with ambiguous loyalties, the gardener whose silence costs dearly, and the ghosts of a past love that Felix never quite escaped. Speight constructs a maze of false accusations and buried truths, where guilt and innocence become impossible to distinguish from mere circumstance. The novel is a dark meditation on how quickly a man can become a prisoner of his own home, judged not by evidence but by the whisperings of a society hungry for scandal. A compelling piece of Victorian sensation fiction that proves the most dangerous mysteries are often the ones we bring upon ourselves.
