Within These Gilded Halls: A Regency Romance

This it a review of Abigail Wilson's latest book that will release on 10/04/22, and its a great book in my opinion! Its is a murder mystery with a little romance in it, and it kept me guessing all along the way, and it is a clean but with very unexpected plots and twists! I would highly recommend this book, and I am a huge fan of Abigail Wilson's books, and highly recommend this one as well! 5 out of 5 again!! This book is set in the Regency Era in England. The book starts with Phoebe Radcliff, a renowned painter, who has left home at Middlecrest Abbey to get away from her past, and start anew. So she accepts a painting restoration job for Miss Drake who owns Avonthrope Manor, and who hires her to use her expertise in restoring her drawing room, along with Phoebe's childhood friend Daniel, who was hired alongside Phoebe to help with the restoration. Both Phoebe and Daniel really enjoy the restoration project, and along the way also become friends with Miss Drake. Miss Drake is an elderly woman who has no children, so her estate will pass onto her nephew, Lt. Graham Burke, who will inherit the entire Avonthorpe estate, land, house and servants, including Miss Dealers long time butler, Arnold. Miss Drake finds herself in financial trouble, and works with her butler Arnold to try to recover a family treasure that she believes will save Avonthorpe! But sadly, before the treasure can be found a murder happens, but I am not going to spoil it for you, as you must read the book to find out who dies.. Phoebe and Lt. Burke are thrown together in the midst of murder, and find themselves joining in the search for the treasure to save Avonthorpe as well! They unravel many different clues, which leads them to questioning many of the people tied to Avonthorpe to figure out who murdered and why, bit also finding the treasure as well because it all ties together in an exciting story! They work together and are able to figure out what happened, and are surprised where the clues take them, and that road leads each of them to romance as well... I loved this book, and again, it was exciting, interesting, hearts stopping at times, and unpredictable! I was so surprised at every turn! So my review is a 2 thumbs up book! Its great to have a clean book be so much fun to read!!
