If nothing else Elizabeth Cantrell loves her son. It was with his welfare in mind that she was traveling to a friend (who would employ her as a housekeeper) when the accident happened. Although is it really an accident when you are run off the road by a Highwayman?

Adrian Radcliffe, Lord Torrington, was no ordinary Highwayman. After having waylaid Miss Cantrell’s coach, he believes he may have waylaid the wrong one. Unfortunately, this mistake could put the safety of no less than England herself at stake.

This all is within the first few chapters of “Masquerade At Middlecrest Abbey”. The rest gets even better.

Imagine how difficult it is to be a single mother in 1815. Even staying with friends and family can be problematic. Simply by association, they could be tainted by the Scandal.

Imagine how difficult it is to accidentally waylay the wrong coach and then have your identity discovered. What does one do when you have it so very wrong and are found out?

The leading characters in this novel are both in a bit of a predicament and it’s only together they can solve it. But solving it isn’t as easy as it might seem. Something is going on and they have to figure out what before it’s too late.

The author, Abigail Wilson, has a particularly interesting writing style. I love how you really feel like you can hear the thoughts of Elizabeth and see how she perceives the world around her. Add in lots of lovely plot twists and interesting characters and you end up with a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The third book in the series which began with Shadow Of Croft Towers, Masquerade At Middlecrest Abbey follows on the success of Midnight On The River Grey. I sincerely hope that there will be more books to follow and will certainly keep my eyes peeled for more from Abigail Wilson.
