The Widow of Halvercombe

Previously published as The Widow of Blackthorn Hall by Lyn Harris.A widow left without answers. An inheritance supported by records no one thought to question. A truth buried where only Lenora Wycliffe would think to look.When an old dispute surrounding a Somerset estate resurfaces, Lenora finds a family divided by a legacy that should have been settled years ago. The widow at its center has lost more than property, and the documents supporting the present claim appear impeccable-perhaps too impeccable.With Captain Nathaniel Harrow and Beatrice March by her side, Lenora follows a trail through parish registers, private correspondence, and the quiet compromises of respectable men. But the closer she comes to understanding what happened in Halvercombe, the more dangerous it becomes to distinguish an honest mistake from a carefully preserved lie.The Widow of Halvercombe is the second mystery in The Wycliffe Papers, a Victorian historical mystery of disputed inheritance, concealed evidence, and one unconventional investigator who knows that the smallest inconsistency may carry the greatest weight.
