Gothic Romance Forum, a Community for Gothic Romance Fiction and Literature Lovers

Apparently, Grace Zaring Stone wrote some bestsellers, but I'm not familiar with them. This book was probably more of a mystery, with very little romance, but it was a mystery with "life-threatening" suspense, which makes it a Gothic suspense, at the least.

It is about an artist who is invited to a New England coast town to recuperate from an illness. While there, he becomes involved in the lives of the people of the community. When a murder occurs, he finds himself caught up in the middle of it.

While it may not be a true Gothic romance, I felt this was a very good book. I'd give it an "A".
