From AudioFile:

Bestselling author Barbara Michaels places American tourist Heather Tradescant on a research tour of English gardens after the untimely death of her dear father. The maze and gardens at Troytan House hold a strange fascination for Tradescant as she trespasses onto the estate. Witchcraft, mystery and love complicate her visit and transform her forever. Rosenblat masterfully depicts Tradescant as an intelligent and aggressive guest at Troytan House who is vulnerable to the advances of two very different British gentlemen. Her perfect British accent and skillful character analysis adjust splendidly as she portrays complicated, willful and diabolic temperaments. Rosenblat is an expert! B.J.P.
