Verity Boone is returning to her hometown to meet her fiance and get married. It's 1867 so travel is a little difficult. She hasn't met her future husband but feels like she knows him through his letters and gifts he has been sending her. She is upset when she learns that her fiance had help writing his letters to her and selecting her gifts. Now she's questioning- does she really know him? He seems stiff and distant. Not at all who she imagined.
She also finds that there are secrets. She left when she was a baby and her mother died. She doesn't know why her father sent her away and he just says it was for the best. She had a happy childhood but loves her father and doesn't understand his reason for sending her to Massachusetts.
What is more disturbing is the discovery of two graves completely enclosed in iron. Her mother's and her aunt's graves! Who did this? Why? Some people imply that there was black magic involved. Others talk about treasure. When Verity is attacked, she realizes that she can't trust anyone. Everyone is hiding things from her. Including her father.
The Caged Graves has it all- romance, mystery, a strong setting and believable characters. Highly recommended.
