Summary
A wounded soldier and a rector's daughter discover strange goings-on in their sleepy English village in this Regency-era mystery series opener.
Major Robert Kurland has returned to the quiet vistas of Kurland St. Mary to recuperate from the horrors of Waterloo. However injured his body may be, his mind is as active as ever. Too active, perhaps. When he glimpses a shadowy figure from his bedroom window struggling with a heavy load, the tranquil façade of the village begins to loom sinister....
Unable to forget the incident, Robert confides in his childhood friend, Miss Lucy Harrington. As the dutiful daughter of the widowed rector, following up on the major's suspicions offers a welcome diversion-but soon presents real danger. Someone is intent on stopping their investigation. And in a place where no one locks their doors, a series of thefts and the disappearance of two young serving girls demands explanation....
As Robert grapples with his difficult recovery, he and Lucy try to unearth the dark truth lurking within the village shadows, and stop a killer waiting to strike again....

Excellent story
A story in which I expected nothing and was surprised and captivated by it’s freshness and originality.
With others,I doubt the place and history, but it’s an intoxicating story.

Historical inaccuracies
An okay story with a predictable outcome.
Too many historical inaccuracies to be enjoyable, but an excellent narrator.

Not authentic
Some scenes in the book are not credible. Accent not right and behaviour of some of the characters not believable.
