Title: Above Average Gothic
Product review: This is a typical Gothic setup: naive young woman, strange house ("but nobody lives on the 4th floor!"), missing treasure, rich heiress, etc. However, "The Brownstone House" rises above the Gothic formula and is a decent detective/suspense novel.The heroine, Susan Lockwood, is unbelievingly noble and naive, but the character is saved by her intelligence, bravery, and sense of humor (sense of humor is a rare quality in Gothics). The plot is straight-forward but well thought-out. Pace is a bit slow at times.Gothics aren't my favorite, but I enjoyed Rae Foley's "The Brownstone House".
