The Shimmering Stones of Glendower Hall by Constance WalkerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Gwynneth Morys, an orphan raised by a kind couple in South Wales, finds herself alone once again after their passing. Struggling financially and without any remaining family, she accepts a job as a companion to an elderly woman in North Wales. As she approaches a majestic mansion on the moors, a place she has dreamt of her entire life, she believes her destiny has led her there. The dark-eyed Owen Price-Jones, who greets her, seems to be the man of her dreams.
Little does Gwynneth know that Lady Jane, the woman she is to accompany, has suffered the tragic loss of her daughter and harbors a deep desire for revenge. Unaware of the dangers lurking within the shadowy towers, Gwynneth is oblivious to the presence of an enemy, waiting for her to ascend a certain flight of stairs with no means of escape and no one to hear her cries for mercy.
This book was a captivating and engaging read that kept me hooked from start to finish. Constance's writing style made it easy to immerse myself in the story, and the perfect blend of descriptive passages and thrilling action kept me eagerly turning the pages. However, I did find that I was able to solve the mystery quite early on, as the clues were not very subtle. Nonetheless, the overall reading experience was enjoyable and I would recommend it to those who appreciate a good mystery.
