About this title

From Booklist:

After an unfortunate prank on her part embarrasses her family, American Alyssa Lockhart is shipped off to her distant country cousins in Cornwall. Arriving at Penridge Hall, Alyssa finds the mood at the estate to be quite somber since the Trevell family is still mourning the death of Alistair Trevell. Even though the official verdict was that Alistair died of food poisoning, Alyssa hears rumors hinting that Alastair was murdered, with the most likely suspect being Alistair's cousin, Harris, who recently returned from India and has inherited the title and the estate. Alyssa manages to befriend Alistair's hostile young daughter, Meggie, only to be put in the position of having to promise the young girl that Harris did not murder her father. Now Alyssa must find a way to prove to both Meggie and herself that Harris, the man she is slowly falling in love with, is not a killer. A complex, resourceful young heroine slowly unravels a tangled murder in this quietly compelling historical. John Charles
