A great read by a great author. Mystery, with lots of twists and turns!
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.
No one does Gothic romance better than Victoria Holt aka Jean Plaidy, aka Phillipa Carr
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."
