An exceptional novel of dark family secrets - danger lurks behind every shadow in Mary Stewart's classic novel of romantic suspense.

When Bryony Ashley's father dies under mysterious circumstances, his final words a cryptic warning to her, Bryony returns from abroad to uncover Ashley Court's secrets. What did her father's message mean? What lies at the centre of the overgrown maze in the gardens? And who is trying to prevent Bryony from discovering the truth?

Tell Bryony. The cat, it's in the cat on the pavement. The map. The letter. In the brook. Tell Bryony. My little Bryony to be careful. Danger.

Loved it!

I've read this book in the past, but this is a new audiobook for me. I already loved the story, and Zoe Mills' narration only added to it. I enjoyed the snippets of the other tragic love story the began each of the chapters. Following it and the rest of it was a delight.

Edge of your seat

Although written in the late 1960’s she writes a stellar can’t put it down mystery. Lots of unexpected turns. And a bonus love story

One of Mary Stewart's best

This is a lovely story. It contains just the right balance of fantasy, romance, and mystery.

Enchanting!

Like all Mary Stewart’s books, wonderful characters, beautiful descriptions, and a lively plot. This one has an additional spell of fantasy and history throughout.

So much more than I expected.

Loved it! After the story took hold, author and narrator kept me captivated until ending.
