"Take an English Lit Professor, a new author, and a new undiscovered manuscript, and the fun begins. It is a Gothic mystery within a mystery. I greatley enjoyed the book. Barbara Michaels has been one of my favorite authors through the last 20 years."
"This novel moved a little too slowly for my taste. It was loosely a modern day gothic tale about a literature professor researching an unpublished gothic tale by a mysterious female writer. Several of the supporting characters were better written than the heroine."
