    About “Die Schatten über Hallingham Hall”

    An old photograph raises questions: who was the woman she resembles? The trail leads far north in Great Britain, to a magnificent castle.

    Training as a female butler on a country estate seems the ideal setting for this search. There she faces receptions and tests until a difficult duty arises.

    A young noblewoman withholds information and pursues aims that could harm the heroine. A former confidant who disappointed her returns and offers support. What is the truth, and how does it change the path one has taken so far?

    Who is “Die Schatten über Hallingham Hall” for?

    For readers who enjoy historically tinged family stories with a castle as the backdrop and two love stories. The volume is for readers interested in the world of butlers and female butlers, who like to follow a family secret across several generations. Anyone who knows the first part will meet Isabel in a situation where the past finally holds answers.

    When is “Die Schatten über Hallingham Hall” the best read?

    At 592 pages, the volume needs several evenings or a long weekend. The castle atmosphere of the Scottish Highlands suits the cold months, when you settle in on the sofa under a blanket. Those who prefer to listen will find in the audio version a companion for long journeys, and the sections can easily be spread over several days.

    In what order should you read the “Die Butlerschule” series?

    The series begins with “Die Geheimnisse von Rosewell Castle” as volume one. “Die Schatten über Hallingham Hall” is the second volume and concludes Isabel's story. Anyone who wants to follow the training at the butler school from the start should read both volumes in this order, because the second volume picks up the characters and places of the first.
