The Lord Who Sneered and Other Tales by Heidi Ashworth
Goodreads.com Synopsis:
Three touching, inspirational tales that evoke the essence of what we love most about the cold weather holidays. Ghosts in the Graveyard: October 1816. When Sir Anthony’s cousin dies, a grieving widow is left behind, one no longer wanted when her father-in-law, the Duke of Marcross, sires a new heir. She is welcomed to Dunsmere by the Dowager Duchess; she has a plethora of empty bedrooms now that Sir Anthony and his bride, Ginny Delacourt, have moved from the premises. When Lady Avery claims she saw a ghost in the graveyard attached to the church on the Dunsmere estate, Anne, with help from Baldwin, the gardener, and handsome stranger Mr. Williams, attempts to unearth the meaning behind the eerie happenings at the Duchess’ estate. Will they solve the mystery of the ghost before the cantankerous Dowager Duchess sends Mr. Williams away and all of Anne’s hopes with him?
My Review: 5 out of 5 stars. This is the 3rd book that I’ve read by Heidi Ashworth. I absolutely loved this trio of stories. I think the Ghost in the Graveyard was my favorite but all 3 were equally intriguing in their own way. I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters making appearances and learning more about them in the years prior to when I actually “met” them. It’s definitely not necessary to have read any of Heidi’s other books, but let me tell you, I would highly recommend adding them to your reading list as well! 🙂 I still have 2 of her other books to read and cannot wait to jump back in.
The other 2 book’s I’ve read that you should also add to your list!!
Love historical romances! Heidi’s works are pretty wonderful. The Miss Delacourt books certainly are, so I guess I’ll have to check these out!
I always enjoy your book reviews and they help me add to my reading list. I don’t usually read short stories but now you have me intrigued. Thanks, Taylor!
Ooooh it sounds very Downton Abbey-ish. I’ll add it to my list:)) Thanks Taylor.
