Beschreibung:
Disgraced London doctor Henry Talbot arrives in a remote Welsh village and discovers both a suspicious death and a house full of secrets.
Henry has been forced to take an unappealing position as a village doctor in Penhelyg where belief in myth and magic is rife. The villagers mistrust him, and the mysterious death of his predecessor troubles him deeply.
Linette Tresilian, sharp, guarded and difficult to read, knows more than she first admits. As Henry and Linette begin to investigate, they discover that the village's mysteries could be even darker than they suspected.
From the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of Pandora, The Shadow Key is a gothic historical mystery rich with Welsh folklore, secret societies, an eerie country house and a dark inheritance. It is perfect for readers looking for atmospheric historical fiction with slow-burn suspense and deeply buried family secrets.
