Summary
Everything is about to change....
1789. Pierre and Catherine Aubert, the Comte and Comtesse de Verais, have fled the palace of Versailles for their château, deep in the French Alps. But as revolution spreads through the country, even hidden away the Auberts will not be safe forever. Soon they must make a terrible decision in order to protect themselves and their children, from harm.
Present day. When Lu’s mother dies leaving her heartbroken, the chance to move to a château in the South of France with her husband and best friends seems an opportunity for a new beginning. But Lu can’t resist digging into their new home’s history, and when she stumbles across the unexplained disappearance of Catherine Aubert, the château begins to reveal its secrets - and a mystery unsolved for centuries is uncovered....
Unlock the secret of the château today.
Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Fiona Valpy and The Forgotten Village!

One of my favourite authors
Absolutely loved this story. I have listened to quite a few Kathleen McGurl books but I have to say this is one of the best audible narrations I have listened to and will look for more read by Emma Gregory.

The secret of the Chateau
An exceedingly good book, incorporating history, with more recent times. Lots of twists & turns, a book you don't want to put down. The narrator, put a lot of feeling in the audio version, both the author & narrator I would definitely give 5 stars to. Now to look forward to another Kathleen McGurl book.

The Secret of the Chateau bbKathleen McGurl
If you love French history and Chateaux with an old mystery and perhaps a ghost you’ll love this novel. Also a story of 5 friends, recently retired about to begin their new lives in their very own Chateau. I really enjoyed this so much and will be listening to more by Kathleen McGurl. I really recommend this book!
