Fiercombe Manor by Kate Riordan

Mystery and drama in an old English manor house? Yes, please!

Kate Riordan’s novel is a wonderful escape. The novel tells the story from the perspective of two women – one from the present day (1933) and the other from the past. As it turns out there is a mysterious history of tragedy at Fiercombe Manor.

The story is beautifully written with details unfolding at just the right pace. It will have you wondering what really happened in the past and guessing whether or not history will repeat itself with tragic results.

Fiercombe Manor is being released in the US and Canada in February. The same book came out in January in the UK with the title, The Girl in The Photograph.

The manor’s owners, the Stantons, live abroad, and with her cover story of a recently-deceased husband Alice can have her baby there before giving it up for adoption and returning home.

    Sounds like my kind of book.
    Like the escape aspect to the story of a different time in history
    along with the present.

    I definitely don’t read enough and often need a book that really catches my interest to get motivated to read…This is right up my alley and a story I can relate to! I would love to get lost in this book! good luck to all!

    At first I thought it was ‘just one of those stories’ where the girl gets the boy despite whatever. The synopsis makes it seem very interesting. If I don’t win I will certainly check it out. Thanks for the book recommendation!

    I love the front cover! Plus I love stories that are tied to large, old homes. This one looks great.

    What a neat coincidence! I was just reading about this book at Amazon today. I really, really want to read this. It is exactly my kind of book.
