Barbara Michaels delivers everything you could want in a Gothic mystery - a young, innocent heroine; a creepy estate, remote from all civilization; ghost stories and ghostly appearances; a nefarious murder plot; several folks who are not what they seem; and a dashing hero who comes to the rescue (even if he winds up needing a lot of help from friends to pull it off). This was a classic example of the Gothic formula, excellently executed. I knew to look for those deceitful people and yet, even though I was suspicious, I was not completely certain until the big reveal at the end, and I was left unsure about the villain for quite some time as well. All in all, an excellent read - just what you want from a good Gothic!
Nice read.Very entertaining.The book was witty.There was triumph after struggle.Was shocked to know that the ghost was a real women-didn't believe it at first.Then even shocked, the women(king's mistress) and her brother had similar resemblance which helped them plot against an innocent women unknowingly, wore the white gown to scare her -she is a queen of course for the dowry money(marries a debt king as she was unaware and under compulsion) she at the end joins hands with her true lover after
