About the book
About Secrets at Highmere Hill Inn A Victorian Mystery-Thriller
A storm is rising. A flood is coming. And no one at the inn is who they claim to be. England, 1872. Relentless rains drown the countryside, washing out roads and isolating a cluster of travelers in the only refuge for miles: Highmere Hill Inn, an aging estate turned coaching inn perched atop a lonely ridge. Among the stranded: a fallen noblewoman guarding a scandalous past, a disgraced inspector seeking redemption, a colonial merchant with blood on his ledger, a wide-eyed maid who sees far too much, a preacher battling his conscience, a doctor whose medicine comes with a body count-and a silent man who never removes his gloves. When the innkeeper is discovered missing, and a body is found in the flooded cellar, suspicions mount. The storm outside becomes a mirror of the growing tension within, and as the floodwaters rise, so do old secrets-secrets better left buried. But someone in the house has been hiding in plain sight. Watching. Listening. Waiting. With the civility of an Agatha Christie mystery and the bite of a Tarantino thriller, Secrets at Highmere Hill Inn is a slow-burning tale of deceit, desperation, and dark reckonings-where everyone has a secret, and only some will survive the night.
