Title: Haunted Towers and Cowardly Squires
Product review: I won't rehash the plot of the novel since it can be seen above, but the Mystery of the Black Tower by John Palmer is a well-done gothic novel. Though it turns out nothing supernatural actually happens, we have noble children secretly hidden away in peasant families, locked away damsels in distress, brave knights, complete and utter [...] knights, cowardly squires, and several crumbling-their-splendor-was-awesome-in-the-distant-past-but-has-now-faded castles. My main gripe with the novel is the overuse of background information to set the time and place of the story. The pages and pages of historical recitation was very distracting. Overall though, I found the story to be very enjoyable.
