Sinossi

The Scottish Highlands, 1893. Ingrid Barker arrives back at Strathbairn to attend the funeral of her old employer, Charles McCleod.
 
Every bone in Ingrid's body screams for her to leave, and as she walks from the graveside, she can’t shake the suspicion that Charles was murdered. As she hurries to uncover the truth and get away from Strathbairn, another murder takes place - one that traps her in the very place she is desperate to escape from.
 
Running out of time and clues, can Ingrid evade the truth of that terrible night up at the abbey the last time she was here, and can she solve the mystery of Charles’ death before his ghost does away with her?
 
An unputdownable gothic mystery laced with dark family secrets, SECRETS TAKEN TO THE GRAVE is the second book in the Strathbrain Trilogy series of historical mystery novels by Isobel Blackthorn.

    When Helen Davenport is found strangled in her fashionable London flat, the discovery shocks even those who thought they knew her best. Glamorous, charming, and with just enough scandal in her past to raise eyebrows, Helen had always walked a dangerous line between admiration and envy. But who hated her enough to kill? 
    Enter Scott Egerton, amateur sleuth and Member of Parliament, who quickly realizes this is no ordinary crime of passion. Behind Helen’s glittering façade lies a web of secrets: blackmail, betrayal, and a scandalous past that someone was desperate to keep buried. With Scotland Yard circling in one direction and Egerton digging in another, the truth becomes more elusive—and far deadlier—than anyone suspects. 
    The Murder of Mrs Davenport is a taut, atmospheric classic from Anthony Gilbert (pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson), blending biting social observation with razor-sharp plotting. A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Ethel Lina White, and Golden Age crime.
