Title: A fun, gothic mystery by a favorite author
Review: I have read many mysteries by Elizabeth Peters and am just getting to know her as "Barbara Michaels". This is a delightful mystery set in the mid-1800's that starts with a young woman left alone after the untimely death of her father. She is an independent woman and hires herself out as a secretary to a distant relative who lives in a ruin of a castle in Scotland. He is disfigured, has an invalid daughter, very strange servants, and no wife (that she knows of). Of course she falls in love with him, but there are secrets all around. The author drops lots of hints about the mystery, but I didn't figure it until the author revealed it. An enjoyable read.
