This is one of my favorite Elsie Lee books and once again she has a very strong female protagonist.

Elsie Lee - Always Great!,
By
This review is from: The Curse of Carranca (Paperback)
Great suspense and a too-smart-for-her-own-good heroine. This has one of Elsie Lee's great cat characters in it too.
From the back cover: Few men make passes at six-foot lasses -- especially one whose ancestor was a Salem witch! So lofty, lovely, blue-eyed Persis Bradbury, in Portugal to recover from being jilted in America, couldn't believe she was actually being courted by Lisbon's most eligible widower: handsome, rich, charming, six-foot-four Dom Sebastaio! Her wounded heart responded with unquestioning passion, but her healthy mind kept asking a disturbing question: why had Seb married her? Surely it couldn't be because of that silly superstition about a family curse that could only be broken by a blue-eyed witch from across the sea? Then Seb brought Persis to Carranca, his ancestral estate, introduced her to his unloving family -- and plunged her into a seething maelstrom of greed, malice and intrigue destined to drag her down to her death!
