Quinnell is certain he has discovered the missing Roman Ninth Legion, his evidence based on the second-sight of 8-year-old Robbie McMorran. Verity, independent and wryly humorous, leaves her London flat for a summer at Rosehill, a Scottish estate owned by the eccentric and wealthy Peter Quinnell. The Shadowy Horses unfolds slowly and beautifully, combining mystery, history, romance, and the supernatural into an entrancing novel. Set in a small fishing town on the coast of Scotland, Susanna Kearsley’s novel follows protagonist Verity Grey on an unlikely adventure with charming archeologists, ancient Roman ghosts, and modern day psychics. Over the sudden roaring rush of blood that filled my ears I heard a herring gull cry out its warning high above the twisted trees, and then the whispering footsteps passed me by and faded in the softly blowing grass.
