The Secret Rooms by Catherine Bailey

The Secret Rooms by Catherine Bailey

For fans of Downton Abbey, this New York Times bestseller is the enthralling true story of family secrets and aristocratic intrigue in the days before WWI

After the Ninth Duke of Rutland, one of the wealthiest men in Britain, died alone in a cramped room in the servants' quarters of Belvoir Castle on April 21, 1940, his son and heir ordered the room, which contained the Rutland family archives, sealed. Sixty years later, Catherine Bailey became the first historian given access. What she discovered was a mystery: The Duke had painstakingly erased three periods of his life from all family records--but why? As Bailey uncovers the answers, she also provides an intimate portrait of the very top of British society in the turbulent days leading up to World War I.

Catherine Bailey has worked as a lawyer (interesting), a yacht deckhand (fun but occasionally seasick), and a Cartoon Network intern (the finest job ever, aside from writing). Reading, 1980s movies, and travel are some of her favorite pastimes. Mind Your Monsters, Hypnosis Harry, and Lucy Loves Sherman are among her picture books. Her husband and two children reside with her in Stuart, Florida.
