Although he needs to find a buyer with a substantial amount of money in order to save Clifton Manor, what he’s really after is a way to stick it to Carlton Developments.

Awesome Season Finale

Episode Six the continuation of the Clifton Manor series left more more questions than answerable just like season finale should. Can't wait to see how she tops this in Season Two

Episode 6 of 6

Here we go! The 'Season finale' ! Hopefully, we'll get serious answers to our questions. Lady Jane's wedding has finally arrived. All the household prep & Jane's behind the scenes shenanigans are about to pay off. Or are they?

Gladys & Nicholas get to spend some quality time together. Is their beginning courtship about to go to the next level? Lady Elizabeth is giving Lord Simon a second chance. Is he really different or a stuffy Lord in disguise? James is still playing wolf in sheep's clothing with Anna. Will his plan to advance his own best interests work? Anna is seeing him through rose-colored glasses. Can she see the truth before it's too late?

George has had enough of the Americans trying to steal his family home. Leaving his father in the dark, George makes an appointment to confront the businessmen face to face. Can he save the Manor from catastrophe? All these unanswered questions plus a wedding day no one will ever forget come together to end Season 1.

Victoria Spencer has done an excellent job of creating a plot & characters that readers can care about. Better than the majority of television shows nowadays, 'Clifton Manor' gave us juicy, bite-sized episodes. Each installment made me want to read the next. I will sorely disappointed if there is no second season!

Like the episodes before it, I give it 4 stars. It is everything a cliffhanger episode should be.

After reading all 6 episodes of this, I feel a bit disturbed that an ending was never published. I had given it high reviews in my comments on several of the volumes and was going to do the same with this when I noted that the publication date on this last episode was Dec 2014. The author does state at the end of each episode to 'stay tuned' for the next, however it doesn't appear that any more are forthcoming and has left me in suspense over what's behind the locked door, will Anna get together with Lord George, will Samuel fulfill Lady Janes demands, etc. Too many loose ends.

Oh no! I’ve had a look and there are no more episodes after this one! How can that be?!! There are stories that need to be concluded. I want to know what happens to Lady Jane! Please please write at least one more, these books have been amazing

As the saga continues the characters are more fully developed and the relationships become deeper. I am enjoying this "serial" read. There's murder, mystery, a little bit of history and even romance and heartbreak.

Unenjoyable

This author can come up with many, many, many problems but is totally incapable of figuring out any solutions. I kept thinking surely she would have some closure, but apparently she can only think of conflicts. Have no desire to ever read anything written by Victoria Spencer.
