In the Shadow of Croft Towers by Abigail WilsonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I enjoyed this debut Historical mystery from new to me author Abigail Wilson. She provided interesting characters, especially Sinclair and from the first chapter, provided me with intrigue, mystery and action.
I do think Sybil was a bit naïve, especially at the end, but enjoyed her journey to discover how her past is connected to the Croft Towers and learning who to trust during a time where there was spies around every corner. Sinclair was a loveable character and I was trying to figure out along with Sybil, exactly what he was up to and why.
I listened to the audio on Scribd and the narrator did a great job of presenting a very enjoyable story.
Fans of Regency Historical should love this one. I'm planning on reading the rest of this author's work.

About the book:
From debut author Abigail Wilson comes a mysterious Regency tale of secrets and spies, love and treachery.
Orphaned Sybil Delafield jumps at the opportunity for a position at the mysterious Croft Towers. She believes she was hired to act as companion to a dying woman, but a highway robbery and a hostile welcome from the Chalcroft family cause her to wonder if she was actually hired to help someone spy for France.
An unsolved murder adds intrigue to this already secretive family, and Sybil recognizes Mrs. Chalcroft’s handsome grandson as one of the infamous highwaymen who robbed her. Sybil must determine if this man's charming smile and earnest eyes speak the truth or if he is simply using her like others in the house. Everyone seems to have something to hide, and Sybil must decide who to trust while also coming to terms with the truth about her own past.
