The novel tells the story of Marian Halcombe, a young woman who travels to the Canadian wilderness to investigate the mysterious death of her half-sister, Laura Fairlie. Marian soon discovers that Laura's death is not as simple as it seems, and she must unravel a web of lies and deceit in order to find the truth.
The novel picks up where Volume I left off, with Marian Halcombe racing against time to save her half-sister, Laura Fairlie, from her evil husband, Sir Percival Glyde. Marian has already uncovered Sir Percival's dark secrets, but he is still a dangerous man. He will stop at nothing to protect his secrets, and he will kill anyone who gets in his way.

In the end, Marian is successful in saving Laura from Sir Percival. However, the novel ends with a sense of ambiguity. Marian is not sure if she has really defeated Sir Percival, or if he will come back to haunt her in the future.
Mount Royal Volume II is a suspenseful and exciting mystery novel. Braddon's writing is sharp and witty, and she creates a vivid and believable world for her characters to inhabit. The novel is full of twists and turns, and it will keep the reader guessing until the very end.
