Romantic mystery light reading. I enjoyed it.

Romantic-suspense. Illustrates clearly the difference between a jury verdict of 'not proven' vs. 'not guilty.'

There is no one else who does romance the way Victoria Holt does it. You just never want the book to end.

Copyright 1990.
Davina Glentyre is on trial for the murder of her father. All that was once familiar and dear is now shadowed by scandal and mistrust. Her happy young life in Edinburgh had vanished in the wake of her mother's recent death. Her father seemed strangely changed. And when Davina's beloved governess was abruptly dismissed, an unlikely replacement was found--the lusty, auburn-haired Zillah Grey, who stayed to become the new Mrs. Glentyre. That was the year Davina's father died, the year in which she stands accused.

I thought the book was great! But, then again, I haven't read a Victoria Holt story that I didn't enjoy.

I'm only willing to swap this one because I have another copy.
