Publisher's Summary
A lonely young heiress becomes the poorest wealthy woman in Victorian England when her father dies without telling anyone where he hid his fortune. Can Tressa and the no-nonsense estate manager find the fortune before the greedy relatives get to it first?
Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune before someone else finds it first. Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.

Sober second opinion
Yes this is Christian historical fiction not correctly represented in the description. But no the spiritual elements are not jarring.
Having read plenty of CHF but not particularly looking for it at the moment, this book was a surprise that ended up redeeming the genre. The writing is superb and intricate but with simple themes. No cheese or melodrama in the romantic storyline. Perfect mix of historical context and romance with mystery and theology. And the narration was like a balm whenever I picked it up.
I don't often reread these quick reads but I think I'll come back to this one.

Should be a Classic!
This writer gets to the essence of everyday life "she spread her butter on the spongy bread". Her words are almost poetry, her ability to describe emotions is phenomenal. The story line keeps you reading to discover the fate of each character and to find out were the fortune is hidden. I really enjoyed this book.

Excellent read...
Filled with intrique, strong protagonists with hearts hidden behind each of their individual hurts ---they peel like an onion...
Surprise ending....
