A great read by a great author. Mystery, with lots of twists and turns!
No one does Gothic romance better than Victoria Holt aka Jean Plaidy, aka Phillipa Carr
Intriging novel by Victoria Holt. Young orphaned girl is summoned by a new guardian Lord of the Far Island off the wild coast of Cornwall.
I loved this book. The book had some romance, mystery, and suspense. It was great.
Taken from the back cover...
"A magnificent tale of romance, suspense, and terror."
