Having so enjoyed my time with the Quinn triplets – Eva, Rosa and Hannah – as they’ve grappled with the challenge of improving the fortunes of Heatherly Hall while navigating their complicated private lives, I’m delighted today to bring news of the third book in this lovely series from Julie Houston (with thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invitation and support!). Today I’m helping reveal the lovely cover for A Wedding at Heatherly Hall, due for publication by Aria Fiction on 29th February 2024.
Julie has been a personal favourite of mine for quite some time now – just pop her name into my search box and you’ll find all my many reviews. But have you read the first two books in this series? The first was The Village Vicar, published in January 2023 (available free for your kindle through Amazon Prime), and I really loved it – superb storytelling, that mix of laughter and poignancy that she always does so well, lots of surprises along the way, and one of the most uplifting endings I could have ever wanted (you’ll find my full review here). And then there was The Girls of Heatherly Hall (this one’s free via Kindle Unlimited) – every bit as lovely, intertwining the stories of all three women, involving you in their lives as they try to find their paths to their own happy endings while struggling to find the right way forward with the Hall and remain true to their father’s vision (you’ll find my review of that one here). I’m sure this book will be every bit as readable as a standalone as the other two were, but why not try and catch up? After all, there are five months to go to the new one!
Let’s take a closer look…
Romantic entanglements, A-list weddings and missing diamonds… it’s going to be a busy spring in Westenbury!
Sisters Hannah, Rosa, and Eva are on a mission to sustain picturesque Heatherly Hall, in Yorkshire’s Westenbury village. So when they hear the legend of the Jet Set – a necklace with a rare diamond, commissioned by royalty and hidden in their hall – they plan a fundraiser: an Agatha-Christie style am-dram production and treasure hunt.
As if that weren’t enough, music superstar Drew Livingston and Bollywood legend Aditi Sharma have chosen their hall for a wedding in just six weeks’ time, and the pressure is mounting to pull off the wedding of the decade.
Staging the play, unravelling the mystery of the diamond, and meeting the demands of an A-list bride and groom without their lives unravelling seems impossible. But these three sisters know that with family by your side, anything can be overcome…
Perfect for fans of Katie Fforde, Jill Mansell, and anyone who loves a warm and witty romance with a dash of intrigue.
About the author
Julie Houston lives in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire where her novels are set, and her only claims to fame are that she teaches part-time at ‘Bridget Jones’ author Helen Fielding’s old junior school and her neighbour is ‘Chocolat’ author, Joanne Harris. After University, where she studied Education and English Literature, she taught for many years as a junior school teacher. She now teaches just two days a week, and still loves the buzz of teaching junior-aged children. She has been a magistrate for the past nineteen years, and, when not distracted by Ebay, Twitter and Ancestry, spends her time writing. Julie is married, with two adult children and a ridiculous Cockerpoo called Lincoln. She runs and swims because she’s been told it’s good for her, but would really prefer a glass of wine, a sun lounger and a jolly good book – preferably with Dev Patel in attendance.
