I received a copy of this book from the author for review.Tara Kenward witnessed her mother's murder in India.  She was fairly young when this happened.The story moves forward to when she is 18.  It is at this time that her father inheirits Raven's Cliff castle.  The morning after they arrive Lord Andrew Sharpton arrives to welcome them and invite them to dine with his family at their nearby castle the next day.  Tara declines, but her sister Rachel accepts for the family.  This leads to friendships and more for the two families.  There is an apparent attempted robbery that turns out to be not what it seems.  Tara has always wanted to return to India to seek answers related to her mother's death.  Will she get to go?  Will she need to?  These and the reason for the "robbery" move the story forward.Elements of faith play a part in the story in a comfortable way.  The plot does advance quickly, but this can't be avoided in a novella (I always wish they were longer, but then they wouldn't be novellas)The book takes place in the 1600's.  I normally don't read historicals, but I'm glad I read this one.  It is written that I almost forgot it was a historical at times.I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys mysteries with a touch of romance.
