The Women of Heachley Hall 
The life of a freelance illustrator will never rake in the millions so when twenty-eight year old Miriam discovers she’s the sole surviving heir to her great-aunt’s fortune, she can’t believe her luck. She dreams of selling her poky city flat and buying a studio.
But great fortune comes with an unbreakable contract. To earn her inheritance, Miriam must live a year and a day in the decaying Heachley Hall.
The fond memories of visiting the once grand Victorian mansion are all she has left of her parents and the million pound inheritance is enough of a temptation to encourage her to live there alone.
After all, a year’s not that long. So with the help of a local handyman, she begins to transform the house.
But the mystery remains. Why would loving Aunt Felicity do this to her?
Alone in the hall with her old life miles away, Miriam is desperate to discover the truth behind Felicity’s terms. Miriam believes the answer is hiding in her aunt’s last possession: a lost box. But delving into Felicity and Heachley’s long past is going to turn Miriam’s view of the world upside down.
Does she dare keep searching, and if she does, what if she finds something she wasn’t seeking?
Has something tragic happened at Heachley Hall?
Loved it I download a sample of this book first but was gripped from the beginning and couldnt wait to read the rest of the book. I was not disappointed. As the story progressed the mystery unravelled. One of my favourite books Ive read this year. I can highly recommend it.

** Note: I received a complimentary copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. **The first line of the blurb Miriam has one year to uncover Heachley Hall's unimaginable past and a secret that only women can discover. - was the reason I wanted to read this one. I mean, who doesnt want to know the secrets of an old mansion? It took me 2 days to get 31% in. Part of this may be because it is written using British terms rather than American terms and Ill admit that I am not well versed
I always enjoys books that have location settings near to where I live, coupled with a big house, it was my kind of story! The story focussed on Charles, and the women that inhabited Heachley Hall. The last woman to take over Heachley Hall, was Miriam, a childrens illustrator, who inherited the Hall from her great Aunt. The Hall needs considerable work doing to it, and Charles helps Miriam to do up the property with a view to selling.There are strict stipulations regarding Miriams
Beautifully writtenThis is an evocative, compelling story. The descriptions, although beautifully done, did at times take precedent over the plot. It's the only reason I give four stars instead of five.
A really good story A really good story that kept me wanting to read on. The characters were believable and interesting. The description of the house and garden, everything, I could really picture it all, lovely description. How the story unfolds is such a surprise. Write more please Rachel!

The blurb for this novel is what drew me to this book. I enjoyed it overall. It's very atmospheric and the 'creepy' elements are done well. I guessed what the secret was quite early on. I never really took to Miriam. I don't know why. This book could have been half the length it was and be a brilliant read. The middle of the story dragged for me and parts of it were repetitive. However, it's still a very good read for a debut.Loved it I download a sample of this book first but was gripped from the beginning and couldnt wait to read the rest of the book. I was not disappointed. As the story progressed the mystery unravelled. One of my favourite books Ive read this year. I can highly recommend it.
