This short, gothic novel was slower paced at the beginning but the mystery was fascinating at the end.

The main character was likeable enough but frustrating at times. I really had no idea on the culprit and what happened to the sister. The end result was a delight, though. It wasn't a gripping story for it's duration, and not something I can highly recommend.

One of the short 'gothic' thrillers... this features Karen's twin April, missing presumed dead. Not as frightening as some of Susan Howatch's other thrillers, it's quite a good story with something of a mystery. Very well written, as always. ( )
