In River Lodge, beloved author Elizabeth Cadell delivers a delightful blend of light romance, gentle mystery, and vivid countryside charm. The story follows Christina Parsons, a capable young woman who takes a temporary job managing the affairs of a reclusive writer living in a remote English village. Expecting routine work, Christina instead finds herself drawn into a tangle of local gossip, hidden pasts, and unexpected relationships. As she navigates the quirks of village life—and the stubbornness of her enigmatic employer—she discovers that the quiet River Lodge holds more secrets and surprises than she ever imagined. With Cadell's signature wit, warm characterizations, and breezy prose, River Lodge is a delightful escape into a world of understated drama, personal growth, and the slow-blooming promise of love.
