Rich interesting characters which have been beautiful written, and details scene setting which paints just the right pictures in the minds eye.. lots of twists and turns keep you listening on and on.

Fantastic audiobook, I didn't want it to end!
This story was amazingly well written, flowing from page to page and keeping me engaged. And I'm not a historical fiction, fantasy, or ghost story fan, so that is saying something!
The mystery pulled me through every hour of this audiobook. So clever how it unwinded hour after hour. And in a way that kept me wanting to come back to listen to find out what I might learn next.
I fell in love with most characters: Captain Blountford, Lizzie, Esme, the horse trainer, and more. I found myself getting mad at a few of the characters throughout the story, but by the end, even these people Lord Blountford and Lizzies parents, were better understood.
And the ghosts. I liked them too. What interesting characters and an exciting twist to the story.
Lastly, I must comment on the characteristics of the main protagonist,
Lizzie. She was in an unfortunate situation. Yet, due to her honor, honesty, integrity, persistence, and drive, she was able to make good out of a bad situation.
Too many stories today go in the other direction. I was getting tired of it, so this story was refreshing.
All I can add to the above is that I loved it, loved it, loved it, and I can't wait for a sequel.
