But a chance discovery in the study leads Imogen to believe Dorothea left her a secret message. And when rumours begin to swirl that Dorothea was murdered, she suspects that the house might not be the life-changing gift she thought. Who would want to kill Dorothea?
Could it be tangled up in Imogen's own dark family history?
And what if Imogen is now the one in danger?
