A Haunting at Holkham
ByPublisher Description
Lady Glenconner was born Lady Anne Coke in 1932, the eldest daughter of the 5th Earl of Leicester, and growing up in their ancestral estate at Holkham Hall in Norfolk. A Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation, she married Lord Glenconner in 1956. They had 5 children together of whom 3 survive.

“Picked up this one since I love the cover. It kept going back and forth from the past to the current setting of the novel, which is interesting, however I feel some characters feel one dimensional and kind of lack a depth to it. Other interesting thing is that most of the setting and characters are based on real people!”
