Books like False light by Caroline Llewellyn
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the wild Cornwall countryside, "False Light" intertwines romance and suspense in a tale of mystery and intrigue. Dana Morrow, an American researcher, journey’s to Kerreck Du to deepen her study of the Victorian spiritualist Marianna Hobhouse. As the investigation unfolds, Dana encounters unsettling clues and hidden dangers within the house’s walls, forcing her to confront the unsettling realities that lie beneath the surface of her scholarly pursuit.
The novel crescendos into a tense exploration of trust, supernatural implications, and the lengths one will go to protect what matters most. Through lush descriptions and a compelling narrative, the story offers a fresh contribution to the tradition of sumptuous, atmospheric romance that many compare the author to Daphne du Maurier and Mary Stewart.
