Book tip: Shadows in the moonlight
A real crowd pleaser, this is one of those books that leaves you wanting more. History, mystery, love story and time travel fantasy, it's an irresistible blend.
«Shadows in the Moonlight» introduces us to Pixie Tate, a determined and resourceful detective with a unique edge – her ability to time travel. When she is called to investigate the disappearance of a young boy at St Sidwell Manor in 1895, the story alternates between two timelines: the present and Victorian era Cornwall.
The novel opens with Pixie grappling with the moral complexities of her gift. As she delves deeper into the disappearance, she discovers chilling secrets buried in both time periods. Pixie’s investigation leads her to confront the trauma of her past, forge unexpected alliances, and face heart-wrenching decisions that could alter the course of history.
The dual timelines not only drive the plot but also highlight the fragile nature of human connections. With atmospheric descriptions of the rugged Cornish coast and the shadowy grandeur of St Sidwell Manor, Montefiore creates an immersive backdrop for a story that is as much about solving a mystery as it is about healing old wounds.
