About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A lost journal. A long-buried secret. A story waiting to be told.


Cleo Finch has loved gothic literature all her life. She’s spent years researching and writing her thesis on the works of one gothic novelist in particular, Orlando Browne, and is determined to prove that Browne was the pen name of a female author, Alys Weston.

But as her best friend Tris never fails to remind her, she still hasn’t succeeded in finding concrete evidence that proves this to be true.

That is, until Cleo’s Uncle Ambrose unknowingly gifts her Alys’ very own journal, forgotten in a stack of first-edition gothic novels.

As Cleo begins deciphering Alys' diary entries, she finds herself utterly absorbed by Alys' vivid descriptions of the people in her own life - particularly the rakish Lord Rayven - and the challenges Alys faced trying to keep Orlando’s true identity a secret.

And so, newly inspired, Cleo sets aside her thesis to pen a gothic novel of her own . . .

Previously published as Lord Rayven's Revenge. This edition has been updated with new material from the author.

I think some Trisha fans ( me included) might be a bit dismayed/disappointed by this book within a book within a book which seems devoid of her usual modern day Dorothy parker style wit and relevance.

I saw this book in a shop and read the back and a few pages and liked it was really pleased to find it on audiable. I love the story of Alice's novels how she is really strong woman when lady's of that time where not ment to be independent or strong and I loved the ending.

her last two books have been dull with really feeble story lines - 12 days of christmas and christmas invitation are two of my all time favourite books but these days they sound more like AI written
