Kirsty's third novel in her Rossetti Mysteries series. For fans of Susanna Kearsley TBarbara Erskine. A truly gripping time-slip novel. Staying alone in the shadow of an abandoned manor house in Yorkshire would be madness to some, but art enthusiast Lissy de Luca can't wait. Lissy has her reasons for seeking isolation, and she wants to study the Staithes Group ? an artists' commune active at the turn of the twentieth century. Lissy is fascinated by the imposing Sea Scarr Hall ? but the deeper she delves, the stranger things get. A lonely figure patrols the cove at night, whilst a hidden painting leads to a chilling realisation. And then there's the photograph of the girl; so beautiful she could be a mermaid ? and so familiar. As Lissy further immerses herself, she comes to an eerie conclusion: The occupants of Sea Scarr Hall are long gone, but they have a message for her ? and they're going to make sure she gets it.
