She fears she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry, and the one man she thought might marry her seems to have fallen for her younger, prettier sister.

I really liked the setting, the nods to Jane Austen, and the mystery in general. The plot was very well done; I was very invested in unraveling it, and had no suspicions or theories as to true motives of any of the characters.However, a lot of William's and Abigail's actions didn't sit well with me. I'm not an authority on 19th century propriety by any means, unless a solid love of Jane Austen's work and a tendency to immerse myself in regency period novels makes me an expert. But I just couldn't see a devoted man of the cloth or a well-bred lady doing the things that they did. I mean, Lydia Bennet would, but she brought shame down on anyone with a teaspoon's worth of sense. Frequently inviting a man into your bedchamber, being alone with said man in said bedchamber, coming upon a half naked man and then staying to chat, the super forward flirtatious remarks, the sensuous lingering touches- these are all commonplace and accepted today, but 200 years ago? Not so much. Definitely not without consequences. I was frequently disappointed in both of them. How often William risked her reputation. If he really cared for her and/or if he had integrity, he wouldn't have trifled with her, but would have taken the utmost care to treat her like a lady and preserve her good name.

It has all the things I love - the Regency time period, a mystery, realistic characters, a great plot, wonderful writing, and the inability to put the story down. Lately the books I have read have made me wonder where all the great fiction ran off to, but with this story I have hope for more great books again. :-)When Abigail Foster's family loses most of their money from a bad investment, Abigail decides to give up her dowry so her sister can still have her season in London. As she looks around for a cheaper, smaller house to rent, she begins to doubt they will find one acceptable to everyone. But then a chance comes for a nice estate to rent very cheaply. The only catch is that it hasn't been inhabited for almost twenty years and nobody will say why. When Abigail and her father arrive at Pembrooke Park, they are shocked at the state of the house. Everything is left just as it was twenty years ago even with the dishes still on the tea table. But why?When Abigail hears the rumors swirling around of a treasure hidden somewhere in Pembrooke Park, she hopes to find it to reimburse her depleted dowry. As she settles in the house by herself, she becomes friends with William, the curate, and his sister, Leah. Abigail starts to hang out with them a lot and begins to admire the curate. But then her first love and best friend, Gilbert, visits her new neighborhood leaving Abigail confused and flustered. Gilbert seems to want to be with her, but what about William?This story was sooo good! I loved how well everything came together at the end. So many little details you had to pay attention to with multiple stories and mysteries all swirling around the one big mystery. It was a fun read with some holding your breath moments, a little unpredictability, and some rooting for the guy you think she should have. ;-) I really liked Abigail. She is very smart, has a sweet spirit, and a lot of determination to figure out the secrets shrouding the estate. The parson was another great character. He was very giving and caring just how you would want a pastor to be. Thankfully, he wasn't at all like the parson in Pride and Prejudice. hahaIf you have never read anything from this author before, definitely try this one! You won't be disappointed. :-)I was given this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

One of her better books By MrsFordy I'm probably spoiled with Julie Klassen's books because they are SO good that none of the other ones ever seem quite as good as the FIRST book of hers you've read. That being said, I was really disappointed with last year's The Dancing Master. The Secret of Pembrooke Park was EONS better than the last book, and even if you thought you'd figured out the mystery, you were still left guessing up until the end. Without getting into spoilers, I thought the main characters were very 3 dimensional, definitely imperfect, made stupid decisions out of anger, fear, pride, etc, and that's what also makes them really likeable. We forget sometimes that people in the pulpit are just as human as the people in the pews. I really appreciated that Klassen made the curate relatable rather than Austen's Mr. Collins or Mr. Elton who were such stuffed shirt prigs. Book was very well done.The only real deviation that I see from the previous books is that usually the author has sort of a focus of Regency Era life, along with quotes from various source material before each chapter. I'm not really sure if she was attempting to paint the life of a local clergyman or steward, because it wasn't front and center as part of the novel. It was the profession of our male protagonist, but I don't feel like I necessarily learned something new about the profession from reading the book. With the previous novels, it feels like you come away with a history lesson as well as a happy ending. We still got our happy ending (duh), but I did miss that a bit from Klassen's previous novels. Still very enjoyable though, I read the book in one night, and I will definitely read again.
