From Booklist
When she gets word that her mother might be dying, Tasmin Hardy rushes home to find her mother unconscious, the victim of a brutal beating. A silver button is the only clue to the assailant's identity. As her mother makes the long, amnesiac road to recovery, Tasmin's childhood friend, Isobel Penrose, offers her a position as her companion. Tasmin accepts, since it will allow her to be with her mother at least part of each day. But there's something foul afoot at Penrose Manor. Adam, the oldest brother, wounded and presumed dead in the war in America, has shown up, very much alive. Nicholas, Isobel's husband, has claimed Adam's inheritance, and the animosity between the two brothers is palpable. Tasmin ignores Adam's cryptic warnings and stays on, oblivious to impending danger. A lost treasure, a little romance, an old murder, and a surprise villain: once again Tanner, in the tradition of Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt, conjures up an excellent gothic you can't put down until the last villain is revealed.
