Touch Not the Cat

'A brilliant classic' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A long time favourite' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'My favourite book... ever' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When Bryony Ashley's father dies under mysterious circumstances, his final words are a cryptic warning to her. Bryony returns from abroad to Ashley Court: the tumbledown ancestral home of the Ashley family, all blessed with 'the gift' of being able to speak to each other without words. Ashley Court is full of secrets. What did her father's message mean? What lies at the centre of the overgrown maze in the gardens? And who is trying to prevent Bryony from discovering the truth? Curl up by the fire and get ready to be transported by the Queen of the Romantic Mystery, Mary Stewart.
