If Birds Fly Low

Since her childhood, Charlotte has been plagued by constant knocking on her bedroom door in the dead of night; a summons she never answers since she fears what might be waiting for her behind the door.

While helping her father with his bookshop in Cambridge, Charlotte meets Noel Chandler, a tutor at the university. Noel is also Squire Chandler and owns Martlesham Manor a Tudor house in Suffolk. It's while visiting Martlesham Manor with her cousin, Adele, that Charlotte learns the story of Prudence Chandler who, in the seventeenth century, was denounced as a witch by her husband and mother-in-law and consequently hanged.

Charlotte becomes absorbed with the story of Prudence and realises there are many mysteries at the Manor. Who is the woman who moves silently around the house at night? Why is there a terrible feeling of dread that permeates the old building? And why do the birds fly low since there is always a threat of rain hanging over the Manor?

As their love grows, Charlotte and Noel start to uncover the truth of his ancestral home. But the truth will involve Charlotte more intimately than she could possibly imagine.
