Review
What a synopsis doesn t mention is the richly textured background against which the drama is all played out; the deep, underlying sense of place; the wisdom and humour of ordinary (and sometimes extraordinary) folk; and the keenly researched and observed cameos of rural life in the community, living and working in the protective shadow of Angel Mountain. - Irene Payne --Western Telegraph
The author has woven timelessness into the character of Martha Morgan. This is a love story, a tale of a complex, compelling creature on a voyage of discovery that veers between elation and despair and of a love lost and found. Martha reveals through her diary entries every innermost secret of her being. It reveals a driving force she at times cannot control. Martha has an eye for the most intimate detail of people and things; she is complex and mysterious, at times ruthless, yet it would appear she is insecure, in spite of the warmth and advice of the people who surround her. Whatever worms of discontent writhe in Martha's breast, be it passion, self-analysis or the nightmare of the Nightwalker, she is revealed as a creature of innate strength. This book is filled with goodness; it is filled with caring, compassionate people. It has a message that basically the human species recognizes truth, justice, fairness and kindness. Martha dominates this book. Her mysticism, and meditations on the mountain, her joys and sadness perhaps reveal the fragility seldom perceived in the Martha Morgans of this present day world. It is a timeless and compelling tale. - Richard Cluroe --Gwales (Welsh Books Council)
An excellent book which recounts the further adventures of Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli -- who is now firmly established as one of the most interesting heroines in recent historical fiction. Move over, Elizabeth Bennett! Really this tale, set in the early 1800's, is about love lost and regained, and while the story is dominated by a mysterious figure in black called The Nightwalker, and by the heroine's self-doubts and periods of depression, this novel is really about constancy and the triumph of love. As in the earlier novels, the plot twists and turns and rushes ahead at a fine pace, and once again the author packs a double whammy into the final few pages of the book. --Amazon.com

Product Description
Martha Morgan has finally found love, after weathering many storms of the heart. She agrees to marry Owain and all the Morgan family are delighted. But, just as she starts to believe that she can have a quiet, calm life, Martha is terrified by a ghostly apparition, which the servants start to call The Nightwalker. Further troubles await her - an orphan is abandoned on the front doorstep, a ship is wrecked on the rocky coastline nearby, and one of the local squires tries to intimidate her. Finally, Owain, her anchor, disappears. For the first time since becoming its Mistress, the Plas Ingli estate is in serious trouble. It is up to Martha to lead the family out of dark times - even if the journey will test her to her limits...

I am now on my fourth book in the series and I am enjoying every word! I live about twenty miles from "Angel Mountain" and have seen it many times it now means so much more. Although a work of fiction the story with its social history is wonderful and takes you back in time to the period. The use of local areas and terms makes for a truly wonderful story. I recommend the series to all.

This is the third instalment of the fantastic "Angel Mountain" saga. This contribution I found very entertaining; from early into this book, an enigmatic addition known as the "nightwalker" adds that piece of flare that was absent within the last instalment. From very early on I felt compelled to try and work out both the purpose and the identity of this mysterious character. On realising that I could not fit the relevant jigsaw pieces together I eagerly read onwards seeking to satisfy my growing curiosity.
What is interesting is the way in which the reader feels almost like a closely related addition to Martha's being, and how reading the story genuinely evokes feelings that mirror Martha's own -- I felt very frustrated at times when Martha did indeed herself. That I believe is a valued quality in this series and something that I have seen very prominently within "Dark Angel".
An insistent recommendation on my behalf.
A pleasure to read.
