The sequel to Countess by A.D. Hewitt: Courtyard Mysteries
Countess Geraldine often visits large country houses, but something about them begins to trouble her.
In many courtyards, she sees children who appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly. Their faces seem familiar, as if she has seen them before in the old portraits hanging on the walls. When a hidden passageway is revealed to her, Geraldine starts to realise that these houses hold many secrets from the past.
As she tries to understand what is happening, she must also cope with the expectations of her title, the pressures of society, and her own growing feelings of doubt and curiosity.
Courtyard Mysteries is a gentle, atmospheric story about family history, unanswered questions, and the quiet mysteries that follow Geraldine wherever she goes.
