From Little Stack
Elizabeth Macneal is an auto-buy author for me. I’ve loved all her books but I think her latest is her best yet. London, 1839. Bonnie is a young woman surviving on the tricks and schemes she carries out under the guidance of her boyfriend, Crawford. But one night their tricks go too far and a man is left lying dead in a pool of blood. Bonnie needs to disappear, so Crawford sends her to Endellion, a great house on the Thames inhabited by a strange man, his young, daydreaming daughter, and secrets that some people will kill to protect. Dark, ominous and forebidding, this is an unmissable story of murder, manipulation, secrets and betrayal.
The Burial Plot is a spellbinding historical Gothic thriller about murder and manipulation, set in Victorian London. From Elizabeth Macneal, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Doll Factory.
London, 1839. Where the cemeteries are full and there is money to be made in death, Bonnie and Crawford lead a life of trickery, surviving off ill-gotten coin and nefarious schemes. But one hot evening, their luck runs out. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnie’s feet and now she needs to disappear.
Crawford secures a position for her as lady’s maid in a grand house on the Thames that is still deep in mourning for its late mistress. As Bonnie comes to understand this family—the eccentric Mr. Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums grand enough for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter, Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself from the mysterious Lord Duggan—she begins to question what really happened to Mrs. Moncrieff and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.
Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet . . .
