Hollywood Meets Oxfordshire in the Upcoming Book by Nancy Polk Hall

Set against the backdrop of an aging English estate and post-war secrets, Brookhaven is a haunting literary mystery from acclaimed author Nancy Polk Hall. In 1960, Lydia Abbott returns to the only home she’s ever known—the sprawling, shadowed Brookhaven estate in Oxfordshire—after inheriting it from her Aunt Millie.

But Brookhaven holds more than ivy-covered walls and fading memories: it’s where her father, a legendary Hollywood director, was murdered a decade ago. The crime remains unsolved. Her estranged mother, a dazzling but volatile actress, reappears without explanation. And Desmond, her father’s charming and enigmatic former protégé, now lives on the estate, filming a documentary about the unsolved case.

 

As Lydia begins to untangle the past, long-buried truths rise with devastating clarity. In a world of shifting alliances and cinematic illusion, Lydia must ask: who killed her father—and can she bear the answer?

Mysterious, elegant, romantic, and emotionally resonant, this is Hall at her finest.
