Although Ruth is enthralled by the legend, the locals are less charmed by the wraithâs return. They blame the evacuees â and among them, Ruth â for stirring up restless spirits.Undeterred, Ruth joins forces with Malcolm, an injured soldier, to unravel the mystery of the wraith. As Ruth and Malcolm draw closer to the truth, theyâll unearth long-buried secrets that could threaten them bothâ¦even as they craft a forbidden love story of their own.'Maxwellâs debut novel is definitely not your traditional 'murder in a quaint village' historical mystery.' âLibrary Journal
