What happens when a person returns, unrecognized, to place and situation they left long ago? Will some see a ghost, or perhaps a threat? Can the past be altered, or the future changed? When Prince Harry arrives at Balmoral to convalesce after a bungee jumping accident in Bali, he is accompanied by Sister Julia, a plain-looking nurse who dotes on her charge. Julia's behavior provokes instant dislike and suspicion in two senior royal servants, the formidable housekeeper Janet McDuff and Prince Charles's equerry David Baron. Julia seems to know her way around the castle when she first arrives, and the famous corgis tumble at her feet in a loving pack. Furthermore, she greets Prince William as if she has known him all his life. When a sapphire engagement ring, recently bestowed on Camilla, is discovered under Prince Harry's bed, Julia acts as though she recognizes it. The arrival of an unscheduled visitor at the Queen's wild-boar sausage barbecue tests Her Majesty's royal composure, and Julia is accused of spying on Charles and Camilla. This witty and sympathetic account of Sister Julia's experiences among the castle's frosty inhabitants provides merriment and insight.

This review is from: Diana: The Ghost Biography (Paperback)

This is the same story written by Isabel Vane titled BALMORAL. Why is it published under a different title with both authors names is not clear? As for the story it brings you into the mundane lives of the royals but the ending left me still wondering as to who Julia really was. A thriller it was not but more of suspense where you are dying to get to the end but the authors leave you flat.

This review is from: Diana: The Ghost Biography (Paperback)

A mysterious person shows up at Balmoral Castle in the guise of a nurse to Prince Harry who has been injured in an accident. She bears a resemblance to Diana, knows her way around the castle and grounds, and has flashbacks to memories of long ago. After a series of unexplained events, the staff becomes suspicious of her and concocts a plan to get rid of her. A very mysterious story with no explanation of the details the reader is dying to know. An interesting read.
