The Animals at Lockwood Manor is an impressive historical fiction debut that I would recommend to historical fiction, literary fiction, mystery readers alike. The young Hetty Cartwright is tasked with moving the animals from a museum exhibit to a manor to keep them safe from German aid raids during World War II. Things do not seem right, and Hetty gets pulled into the mystery and suspense that awaits her at Lockwood Manor. There are twists and turns, history, and a sprinkle of romance. I loved Hetty and found her hard working and curious nature relatable. The plot is so unique that I found myself unable to put the book down. The cover is intriguing, unique and lovely. I am looking forward to reading more from Jane Healey!
