About this listen

 From the bestselling author of House of Shadows and The Phantom Tree comes a spellbinding tale of jealousy, greed, plotting and revenge—part history, part mystery—for fans of Kate Morton, Susanna Kearsley and Barbara Erskine
London, 1765
Lady Isabella Gerard, a respectable member of Georgian society, orders her maid to take her new golden gown and destroy it, its shimmering beauty tainted by the actions of her brutal husband the night before.
Three months later, Lord Gerard stands at the shoreline of the lake, looking down at a woman wearing the golden gown. As the body slowly rolls over to reveal her face, it’s clear this was not his intended victim…
250 Years Later…
When a gown she stole from a historic home as a child is mysteriously returned to Fenella Brightwell, it begins to possess her in exactly the same way that it did as a girl. Soon the fragile new life Fen has created for herself away from her abusive ex-husband is threatened at its foundations by the gown’s power over her until she can't tell what is real and what is imaginary.
As Fen uncovers more about the gown and Isabella’s story, she begins to see the parallels with her own life. When each piece of history is revealed, the gown—and its past—seems to possess her more and more, culminating in a dramatic revelation set to destroy her sanity.

Another fantastic creation from the queen of quality historical romantic fiction. A great entertaining listen that is brilliantly narrated.

Narration was okay, though there was almost no distinction between characters, but the story was terrible. Slow and boring, with underdeveloped and unlikable characters. Took me months to get through most of it. I was determined to finish, but stopped completely with about 2 hours to go. So terrible it wasn't worth finishing.

Absolutely drudge. Couldn't even finish it.

Not really my thing , I have read much better. Some of the plot I found to be weak . Think I may give the rest of the authors books a miss.
