4.0 out of 5 stars Why I Would Never Have Made a Gothic Heroine, February 10, 2004

This review is from: Man for Me (Hardcover)

I think if I had come home to London from a trip to New York (where I had been involved in the mad social whirl of a visiting librarian)and found that my adopted sister had abandoned my beloved dog in the hall of the building, left my flat in a mess, and disappeared with a spurious relative leaving an obnoxious note, I would be more likely to bid the young twit good riddance than run after her.

Even were I so foolish as to chase her down, once I found that she was in a household full of batty old fortune telling servants, an autocratic and rude matriarch, and various other unpleasant characters, I would not be so mad as to stay there, especially if a body is shortly discovered in the lake.

Finally, I certainly wouldn't want to be swept off my feet by a dark haired, craigy featured man who seems to have certain possessive traits in common with stalkers and wife abusers. Not even if the sexual chemistry was really hot.

Ok, maybe if the sexual chemistry was really hot, I would do it.

This is an above average gothic read, and the sexual chemistry is really hot, especially for a book published in the mid sixties. In the US this was published as The Shrouded Tower.
