The Puzzle Wood
by Rosie Andrews
challenging
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
When Catherine arrives at Locksley Abbey to take up the post of governess she is hiding several secrets, not least that the previous governess was her long lost sister. The Abbey is the ancestral home of a not so wealthy landowner and mine proprietor, her charge is his troubled daughter. As time goes on Catherine realises that something sinister is happening and it's to do with the woods and also her past.
I grew to rather enjoy this story despite it's slightly supernatural tones. I think this was mainly because of the character of Arthur and his haunting secrets around a Chartist uprising. In the end it was pretty gripping and I enjoyed it.
