Book Synopsis



Amelia Pembroke is in a unique position in Regency England: She can obtain financial freedom. But in order to do so, she must marry one of two gentlemen. The trouble is, she might be falling in love with another man entirely. Perfect for fans of Julie Klassen and Sarah Ladd.

1819, Kent, England: Everything changed the moment Amelia became heiress to Moorington Cross. A young widow and patient at Cluett's Mesmeric Hospital, Amelia is stunned to learn that her doctor--and the only father figure she's ever known--has altered his will naming her his primary beneficiary. Such an opportunity is beyond what any Regency-era woman could dare to dream--especially one with a sleeping disorder that finds her falling asleep at the most random of times.

There is, however, a perplexing condition attached to the will: she must wed one of two named men, wholly unknown to her. Doing so would provide her with a secure future. But how can she marry one of these men when her heart is intrigued by the charming solicitor, Mr. Hawkins?

Everything takes on a new sense of urgency--and danger--when Mr. Cluett is found dead in his bedchamber only hours after announcing his updated will. Now Amelia only has thirty days to decide which man she will marry. But she is just as determined to uncover the truth of her benefactor's demise with the help of Mr. Hawkins. After all, this sudden turn of events couldn't merely be a coincidence--could it?

From award-winning author Abigail Wilson, Twilight at Moorington Cross is a mysterious Regency romance full of intrigue, mesmeric treatments, and abandoned corridors that proves love is the greatest testament of all.

Immerse yourself in a mysterious tale of love, intrigue, and danger that is Twilight at Moorington Cross. With abandoned corridors, mesmeric treatments, and a suspicious death, Twilight at Moorington Cross will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Don't miss out on this atmospheric and suspenseful tale that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Full of Romantic Mystique!

4 out of 5 stars

3.5 stars "Mr. Cluett has made your inheritance conditional upon your marriage to one of two named gentlemen . . . . you must wed one of them within thirty days of his death." What a conundrum, especially when the good doctor's demise came sooner rather than later . . . far too soon it seemed, leaving the widowed Mrs. Amelia Pembroke left with no one to rely on but the solicitor, Mr. Hawkins, who had drawn up the curious will. Amelia's years at Cluett's Mesmeric Hospital had been some of the most peaceful in her still young life, and now? To lose it all? Or to gain it all . . . along with a virtual stranger whom she never wanted to choose as a husband. Amelia's first marriage had been disastrous, especially after her husband eye-witnessed her rather bizarre sleeping disorder. Who could be trusted to guide her through the next thirty days; is Ewan Hawkins up to the task, or will he betray her too, for the inheritance represented a considerable amount of money and property, enough to kill for as a matter of fact. Amelia would do well to watch her back. "I simply cannot walk away from Moorington Cross knowing I didn't exhaust every possible hope . . " This story compares to playing a game of CLUE, with every character and every room holding tight to their secrets until the very end. Enjoy the quest!

4-4.5 Stars!!

4 out of 5 stars
Carey - 3 years ago
4-4.5 Stars! This was an interesting book that I couldn’t put down. Mystery, suspense, everyone’s a suspect, narcolepsy, surprises and twists and turns, a small amount of romance/falling in love, mesmerism, secrets and solving a murder - What’s not to love?! HEA ending. Everything was a mystery to me and I didn’t see it coming the way it did. If you love mystery with a dash of falling in love, this would be a great book to read. *I received this book at no charge & I voluntarily left this review.*

Gothic Flavor

5 out of 5 stars
ChritianFictionandMore - 3 years ago
In the 18th century Franz Mesmer developed a therapeutic system that revolved around his theory of an invisible natural force possessed by all living things. He referred to the system as mesmerism. Others referred to it as animal magnetism. It was at a mesmeric hospital that Amelia Pembroke found herself nearing her second year of therapy for her sleeping sickness. A situation that became more and more complicated after the announcement of her doctor's new will, quickly followed by his death. Twilight at Moorington Cross is filled with as many twists and turns as the seen and hidden passages of the Cluett Mesmeric Hospital. Very little about this book is predictable, and that is a feature I greatly enjoy, a feature that one can count on from author Abigail Wilson. With a gothic flavor, this book of mystery, romance, and intrigue is the perfect read for a cold winter day. I highly recommend it. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Twilight at Moorington Cross from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
