(May contain some spoilers!)
This is charming Gothic Romance by Marilyn Ross (pseydonym of W.E. Daniel Ross), with serviceable ""story-teller" writing and wonderful trappings: Edwardian setting, a mansion, fog, ghosts (who may or may not be real) and even incestuous love between beautiful but villainous sister/brother pair. Heroine is sweet and sympathetic, trying to help innocent psychotic man accused of murder. There is even a dinner-table conversation of Jack the Ripper! Definitely 9/10.
