The Servant

London, 1765

Young Hannah Hubert may be the granddaughter of a French merchant and the daughter of a Spitalfields silk weaver, but she has come down in the world.

Sent as maidservant to a disgraced aristocrat, she finds herself in a house full of mysteries - with a locked room and strange auctions being held behind closed doors.

As a servant, she is powerless, though - unknown to her employers - she can read. But when she uses her education to uncover the secrets of the house, she realises the terrible danger she is in.

She is unable to turn to the other servant, the elderly and disabled Peg, who is clearly terrified of their employers and keeps warning her to find work - any work - elsewhere.

Help might come from Thomas, the taciturn gentleman farmer delivering milk to the neighbourhood, or from Jack Twyford, a friendly young man apprenticed to his uncle’s bookselling business. Yet Thomas is still grieving for his late wife – and can she trust Jack, since his uncle is one of her master’s associates?

Then Hannah discovers damning evidence she cannot ignore.

She must act alone, but at what price?
