Within These Gilded Halls by Abigail Wilson





Within These Gilded Halls by Abigail Wilson is a Regency romance and mystery that is a stand alone novel though I recognized a few characters from past novels. I am a huge fan of Abigail Wilson, and I have been anxiously waiting to read Within These Gilded Halls. In our story Phoebe Radcliff is currently working with Miss Drake, a renowned painter, to complete a ballroom renovation at Avonthorpe Hall. Lt. Graham Burke, Miss Drake’s nephew, will inherit the house and has come to visit.

I felt the story had a perfect blend of romance and mystery. I enjoyed following Phoebe and Lt. Burke’s love story as they searched for hidden treasure and solved a murder. There were many great secondary characters who kept me wondering who was the murderer, who was innocent and who was truly on team Phoebe/Graham. I stayed up too late reading the ending and have no regrets!

The story’s themes of redemption, forgiving yourself, and remembering people are not always who they seem. I highly recommend this Within These Gilded Halls.

Twilight At Moorington Cross by Abigail Wilson


I love this cover!  Have you seen the sky look like this before and been in awe? There is something about a gorgeous sky that puts life back into perspective for me.   

Twilight at Moorington Cross by Abigail Wilson is a romantic, mysterious Regency read.  Main character, Amelia Pembroke, must choose between two suitors in order to inherit the estate, Moorington Cross, she has been living in while being treated for the last few years. The only problem is she may love someone else all together.  She has no idea who to trust, and neither does the reader.  


I am a huge fan of Abigail Wilson’s stories, and I enjoyed this one.  There were several plot twists, surprises and love interests.  The author does a nice job writing a happily-ever-after that still leaves you guessing to the end. Exploring Moorington Cross as a reader was marvelous and I wished to visit.    


I greatly enjoyed this delightful story and highly recommend it for fans of mystery, regency, and gothic romance.  Being swept away to Regency England  was extremely enjoyable and I highly recommend Twilight at Moorington Cross.

The Vanishing at Loxby Manor by Abigail Wilson


The Vanishing at Loxby Manor by Abigail Wilson is a mysterious Regency romance that had me guessing until the end. I was drawn into the world of Loxby Manor and enjoyed my time in Regency England. The story is filled with intrigue, mystery, secret societies, interesting characters and what seems like a hopeless romance. Main characters Charity Halliwell and Piers Cavanagh are childhood friends who have not seen each other in many years, and their story seems bleak. The other characters are not exactly who they seem to be which makes for a gripping story. 

I am a huge Abigail Wilson fan and really enjoy her well crafted books. The Vanishing at Loxby Manor reminded me of author Victoria Holt’s stories which are a great favorite of mine. I was thrilled for the opportunity to read The Vanishing at Loxby Manor and I highly recommend it.
