Charles Sinclair arrives at Huxley Manor to sort out his late cousin's affairs and there he meets Eleanor Walsh. She's apparently engaged to his cousin's heir Henry who is being henpicked by aunt Lady Erminitrude. Now they have to deal with the mystery in the manor and some of their feelings for each other. When everything in the manor ends he entices her to Egypt to see if she would like a life that isn't ordinary.
It was a fun read and Eleanor and Charles spark well off each other. ( )
