‘You must forever watch your back,’ I spoke the words clearly, though he could not hear me. ‘Come what may, I shall avenge my brother’s death.’

Now: When Sarah’s summoned by her godmother to remote Norfolk, she doesn’t want to go. Crossing the bridges where the two rivers meet, said to be haunted by the ghost of a little boy, a large Tudor house looms in front of her. And Sarah’s instantly reminded her of the summer when she last visited. The summer she would like to forget. Which left her unable to ever move forward… Can a person ever recover from the loss of a sibling?

1571: Anne Howard, newly-made countess of Arundel, has also lost a sibling. And been dragged from the relative safety of her home in remote Norfolk to London, by her overbearing, manipulative, new father-in-law Thomas Howard; the very person she suspects of killing her beloved only brother. The Howards have greater secrets than this though. Secrets that will lead Anne to a tragedy that will echo down the ages…

When Sarah finds a mysterious book of poems in a hidden chamber of her godmother’s house, she is drawn into Anne’s story. Perhaps the mystery will take her mind off her own loss? But – as the flood waters begin to rise under the bridges – is Sarah laying ghosts to rest, or bringing truths to the surface that should stay beneath?

If you love historical mysteries with a touch of ghostly intrigue, The Shadow on the Bridge by Clare Marchant is a must-read. It’s a story that seamlessly weaves past and present, tying two women together across centuries through grief, determination, and a lingering mystery that refuses to stay buried.

The Shadow on the Bridge is a deeply satisfying read with beautifully drawn characters, a dual timeline that feels both haunting and heartfelt, and a mystery that lingers like a whisper on the wind. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, eerie estates, and the kind of stories that make you glance over your shoulder long after you’ve finished.
