"The Secret of Canfield House" by Florence Hurd

Well-written, fast-paced very traditional Gothic tale taking place in what was then contemporary New England. Young woman takes on the job of housekeeper/caretaker of a weekend house in a small New England village, where a prowler is looking for treasure.

I can't say that it was "A" material but very good - "B+". I'll include it in the top 50, even though I haven't read enough to say it is the greatest. I liked the author's style and hope to find more by her.
