"How was the secret now hidden in the household at Combe Raven doomed to disclose itself? Through what coming event in the daily lives of the father, the mother and the daughters, was the law of revelation destined to break the fatal way to discovery"
The Vanstones live an idealic life at their estate in Somerset. When tragedy strikes the family the Vanstone daughters are left to deal with the fallout from the parents secrets. The story follows the actions of the youngest daughter Magdelen as she strives to recover everything that her family has lost.
In true Wilkie Collins still there is mystery and twists and turns and it was intriguing to see the story unfold even if at times I felt the pace was slow.
