Wonderfully unwoven tapestry of a tale. Flavored with plot twists, generational trauma, and a mystery left unsolved until the very end, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor is impossible to put down.

Erm wow I loved this! Just so good, I loved the characters, the mystery, and they way it all came together in the end was just brilliant. It seems I just really like reading about unstable mothers and their tragic families

An enjoyable bit of escapism, this book keeps you on your toes by using three different points of view to tell the story. A slow burner to start with, the latter half of the book was my favourite. Lots of twists and turns, I was constantly eager to find out more.
