The Mirror in the Orchard: An Arabella Grey Mystery

By Mandy Ludick

A haunted orchard. A mirror that reveals secrets. A woman long thought dead...

When a frost-struck tree suddenly blooms in the heart of winter, Arabella Grey is drawn back into the strange and secretive world of the Finch family. Years ago, Evelyn Finch was presumed dead in a fire that gutted her ancestral home... but now, whispers of her survival are stirring.

As Arabella investigates the mysterious flowering tree and the legacy Evelyn may have left behind, she uncovers a hidden vault, a cryptic journal, and a mirror that doesn't reflect what it should. Beneath the quiet village of Wethersby lies a web of betrayal and power stretching back generations and at its heart, a secret society that will stop at nothing to remain hidden.

When allies become suspects and an old enemy resurfaces, Arabella must confront not just what Evelyn saw before she vanished, but what it cost her to walk away.

Gripping, elegant, and steeped in Gothic suspense, The Mirror in the Orchard is a story of truth buried in silence, and one woman's fight to bring it to light... no matter the cost.
