About the author
Rebecca King
227 books100 followersI live in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom where I currently spend my time reading, anything and everything, but mostly books about Cornish smuggling, ghosts and mysteries (Mmmm, I think there is a story there somewhere!)
My love for books has grown throughout my life, fed by my relentless daydreaming. As a child I was always told by my teachers that I daydreamed too much. As an adult, I frequently find myself reading and mentally re-writing the stories, when I read something and feel it could have been done better.
Several people have asked me what inspired me to start writing. Well, I was haunted! Literally. I had a story that just wouldn't leave me. It kept going around and around in my mind, being the first thing I thought of when I woke up, and the last thing I thought about before I went to sleep. I was driven to get the ideas down on paper, initially in a rough draft. But still the stories in my head wouldn't leave me and I soon found myself embellishing my notes and turning them into a book. Thus the Cavendish Mysteries was born. As a working mum, I spent my evenings when the children were tucked up in bed tapping away on my laptop. I still do, and find the 'muse' flows better at night without the constant interruptions of, 'mum, can I have', and 'mum, I'm hungry'.
As soon as I started writing the words flew onto the screen, and I found I couldn't stop. More and more stories came forth and I knew I had to remain true to my dream and turn my passion for writing stories into a job.
It has been a long and very bumpy road, but I do sincerely hope the stories I write bring people pleasure.
I do believe everything in life is a learning journey, put before us to enrich us as we travel life's pathway. I try to learn from all feedback received, and fully appreciate that one cannot please everyone all of the time. There will be people who love my books; in turn there will be people who hate them, but I hope that the majority of people love them.

What a great start to the new series! It is packed with suspense and intrigue. I like Phoebe and Duncan. It’s also great to have Sir Hugo back with mention of Harriet too. Really enjoyable!

A good love story
A very good, interesting love story, where boy romances girl, girl hesitates but yearns for the love as she dreams of romance but gives way her own longing.

Be ready for many typos. If you find it difficult to accept and skim past these perhaps this isn't the book for you. Having said this it was a reasonable if not riveting read.
