Would you consider Patricia Wentworth?

I read somewhere that Patricia Wentworth wrote gothic romantic mysteries. I recently read "The Clock Struck Twelve", which features the amateur sleuth, Miss Silver. I enjoyed the book but I'm not sure I would consider it gothic. It read more like a mystery, although at the beginning it did seem to have a gothic feel to it. There was romance but I guess the element of life-threatening suspense was missing. There was suspense as she keeps you guessing who the murderer was, but it was not "life-threatening". I wondered if anyone has read any of her other books and would recommend any as gothic?
