I know what you mean. 
I remember reading this years ago but don't remember much about it. If I recall, something about the psychic angle really appealed to my Mom...but from your description, it doesn't sound like the kind of plot she would like as she hated women in books who were doormats. But something obviously struck a chord with her about this writer.
I loved the old Gothics, but they seldom surprised me and I always seemed to know who the bad guy was going to be from the first chapter. Formulaic but still fun.
I picked up a couple of gothics the other day at a garage sale and I'm hoping I can still enjoy them, but so many years have passed. I hope they still hold the same appeal. I found Room of Secrets by Caroline Farr and A Nightmare Legacy by Jane Corby.
Wow...I think I abuse smileys. LOL Had no idea I use them so much.
