Misadventures in Yorkshire..,
By
This review is from: The silence of Herondale (Hardcover)
"The Silence of Herondale" is Joan Aiken's first adult novel. From the jacket, you think it will be a whodoneit, but that is misleading. This is more "watch the young woman avoid danger" type of books. Basically, the heroine is hired as a governess for a precocious 13 year old girl, who happens to be a famous playwright. Said playwright is tired of writing, and runs away to her uncle in Yorkshire. In the meantime, the playwright meets up with a mysterious cousin named Jeremy, who warns her to "beware of relations". Soon, the trio has to avoid "accidents", as someone close wants them dead. But who? Is it the aunt who hired the heroine? The cousin? Or is it the "Slipper Killer" who is loose about town. Most of the plot twists are predictable with someone being the lost son of someone else, and people not being as they seem. An O.K book.
