Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

This is the third book in the Rossetti Mysteries series, and although I have not tread the first two, I had no problem loving this book. It could easily be read as a stand-alone book; as the characters back stories are easily explained. I am guessing that anyone reading this would go back and read the first two, as I know i have already bought them and cannot wait to read them as well as the next book in the series. I love the way this author takes you right into her books and makes you feel it. This book is set in two different times, and the love story in each in great but the story in the past was so wonderful. The Pre-Raphaelite period is one of my favourite areas of art history, so I loved that aspect of the book as well. I loved it.

This was a different kind of romance that I don’t get to read too often. It’s about a woman trying to heal her broken heart and being immersed in a tale from a different time. I’m really glad I enjoyed this book. Some authors have a good idea and can really screw up multiple timeline books, but this author handled it really well. I really sympathized with Lissy and was happy for her in the end. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was a charming read. While it is the third book in a series, I had no major issues reading it without having read the previous two. With that being said I probably understood some of the relationships between characters if I had read the previous two. The relationship between Lissy and Stefano is endearing. I fell in love with the story of Lorelei and Julian. Overall I enjoyed how the author intertwined the two story lines. It was wonderful to see both women embrace their inner strengths and acknowledge the type of person they each wanted to be.

Determined to study an artist’s colony active in Yorkshire at the turn of the century and coaxed in by her brother, Lissy has rented a cottage near Sea Scarr Hall to live in while she researches. Her own relationships have ended, and she’s free to pursue the mysteries and regain her own footing from her own troubled past. Prone to quick, not always fully informed decisions, the atmospheric gloominess of the setting, and her own decision to isolate give this story a feel of the gothic: unpredictable weather, isolation, and the many secrets that Lissy is hiding or not dealing with in her own life all make her and her research intriguing. And then the weird happens.

An old photograph of a woman who seems both familiar and otherworldly opens a series of questions that Lissy is determined to answer- and a mystery from 1905 that is starting to resemble her own broken relationship with Stefano – brought in to help by her brother. Here the story works on two separate timelines as the mystery of what happened to Lady Scarsdale and her house, Sea Scarr Hall come to light with a romance that seems to mirror Lissy and Stefano in many ways…

Full of tension, questions, revelations and plenty of otherworldly moments, the secrets from the past are uncovered, allowing Lissy and Stefano to open up, share their own troubles and start to repair damage they’ve done to one another over the years. Transporting readers to Yorkshire with descriptions and insets that compare and contrast past with present and open possibilities for readers and Lissy alike, the mystery is more intriguing for the clues found and their interpretation and less in a ‘danger” sort of way, but no less intriguing to read or puzzle out. I didn’t find a great deal of difficulty not having read the earlier titles in the series, and am sure that fans of Ferry’s writing will be pleased to see another instalment.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

This is an enjoyable story which is the third story in the series. This is the first book of the series and although I haven't read the others it didn't spoil the story but I would like to now read the others. This story is set in dual time zones present day and 1905. Lissy and Stef have been together 7 years earlier but it didn't work out but they both still have feelings. Lorelei lives in the 1905, she lives with her husband who is violent in a large Hall she dreams of becoming an artist and getting away from her husband. She meets Julian a photographer staying in the grounds of the hall, they soon get to know each other. The are a few twists along the way but I did feel it took a while for the story to get going but was still enjoyable as I liked the characters and there's a bit of romance along the way. This would be a good holiday read.

Started off as a slow burner for me but I ended up being hooked before I even realised it !! Now i definitely need to read the first two books. How could you not love a story set in such beautiful place as Cornwall. The story features slightly parallel stories set in different times the present day story centres round Lissy and Seth and the past is set in 1905 with Lorelei and Julian . I wont ruin the story for you but sometimes the lines are blurred between the present and the past and if for any reason you struggle at first like me please keep going it really is worth it !!!

A figure that walks the beach, voices, bumps in the night, a hidden painting and a photograph of a woman all too familiar. Traveling back and forth between the early twentieth century and the present, Ferry draws comparisons between two great love affairs
