The Thirteenth Tale

Dark and creepy mysteries. Family secrets. Brooding mansions. Dusty libraries. Crazy Bertha locked up in the opposite tower. Setterfield has pulled off a classic romantic mystery, although the worst her heroine Margaret suffers is a nasty cold from having wandered the gardens at night with no wrap. No knife-wielding crazy people chasing her, no suspicious young men befriending her, just an old lady who may or may not be telling her the truth.

Heavily influenced by the Bronte sisters and Yorkshire landscapes. If you thought Jane Eyre was stuffy or Wuthering Heights was creepy, you won't like this book.
