Pre-order the second book in Maggie Campbell's wonderful HOLCOMBE HALL series! 
 
Holcombe Hall, 1931 
 Florrie Bickerstaff has finally settled in as the new Housekeeper of Holcombe Hall and life is feeling rosy both at work and home, as she enjoys the attention of her sweetheart, Thom. 
 Meanwhile Sir Richard, Holcombe Hall's illustrious owner, remains trapped in his loveless marriage to Lady Charlotte. Though the couple have been blessed with a young son and heir, William. 
 But in the early hours of Christmas morning, William is found missing, with a ransom note left in his place and the house thrown into a frenzy. 
 Can both the upstairs and downstairs come together and uncover the kidnapper before it's too late? And is the threat closer to home than any of them could think?

Maggie Campbell grew up on a rough estate in north Manchester. Exchanging the spires of nearby Strangeways prison for those of Cambridge University, she gained a Masters in German & Dutch. Maggie has now returned to Manchester, where she writes full time and enjoys a heart-warming, uplifting ending.
