Billed as a Gothic suspense, I found little to recommend it as a Gothic. However, I would recommend it as a suspense mystery with a very light touch on romance. I would say it has more than one heroine and that both, despite their differences in class and education, are tough and intelligent. I'd give it an "A" for plot and suspense, but because I got confused with the locale of two homes, I'd give it a "B" for clarity.
