When her father's school fails, Emma Smallwood travels with him to Cornwall where he is to tutor the two youngest sons of a baronet. The two older brothers, Phillip and Henry, had attended her father's school in the past, and Emma remembers the pranks that Henry used to play on her. Now, in Cornwall, someone is playing tricks on her again. At night, she hears a piano playing and someone screaming. Then she hears the story about the manor's ghost. The family has secrets. If Emma can uncover them, will the pranks stop?
VERDICT Well-developed characters, plot twists, and attention to period detail make this a sure bet for fans of Regency novels. A hint of romance will win Klassen (The Maid of Fairbourne Hall; The Silent Governess) readers who enjoy Catherine Palmer.
