Story4.5 out of 5 stars 72
Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned. But what about its master—Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into her life.

Publisher's summary
Favel Farrington meets Roc Pendorric on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Capri, where she was raised and lives with her father. Roc sweeps her off her feet, taking her from her home by an emerald sea to the ancient family home of the Pendorrics, in Cornwall. His sister and her family await them with open arms, welcoming young Favel. She is the much anticipated Bride of Pendorric, a name that amuses and flatters her.
The castle is beautiful in its way, but the atmosphere is foreboding. Roc's twin nieces begin watching her carefully; even the stones in the courtyard seem to have eyes. On the walls hang portraits of two other Brides of Pendorric-one of them Roc's mother-who died both young and tragically. Favel's fear increases as Roc seems to be growing more and more distant. Has her courtship and marriage been just a deception?
Soon Favel can no longer dismiss as accidents the strange things happening to her. Someone is trying to kill her and she must confront the very real dangers that surround her.

Mary Stewart, one of the great British storytellers of the 20th century, transports listeners to rural Northumberland for this tale of romance, ambition and deceit - a perfect fit for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym. Whitescar is a beautiful old house and farm situated in Roman Wall country. It will make a rich inheritance for its heirs, but in order to secure it, they enlist the help of a young woman named Mary who bears remarkable resemblance to missing Whitescar heiress Annabel Winslow. Their deception will spark a powder keg of ambition, obsession and long-dead love.

Great Victoria Holt
I loved all of her books. I was sad when she died and there would be no more of her books.

old fashioned gothic romance
what I liked about this book as well as Victoria holt,s other novels is that the heroines are strong and capable without being overbearing. I love the setting, in a huge mansion. of course. I first read Victoria Holt over 40 years ago and I still enjoy her work. it is a touch old fashioned and I'm not sure that young readers would appreciate it. But I am in my 50s and I most definitely enjoyed the story, and the creative and delicate unfolding of it.

I love Victoria Holts books
Purely a love story but with a mystery intertwined. Simply delivered but entertaining. If you like this kind of story you should read this.

Timeless
I enjoy all of Victoria Holt’s novels. I’m so glad that the Audible versions give a new generation a chance to learn about her work and an older generation the opportunity to enjoy them again.

More Victoria Holt ! But a different narrator
Love Victoria Holt ! More of her backlog, please. But this narrator just doesn’t do justice to the prose. Please, find another reader…
Maybe Karen Cass, British voice, highly under-rated.
