"Has her famous luck run out on her - for good? In the darkness, a killer rubs his gloved hands impatiently - eager to murder her in her gloomy mansion...."
OK. Not your typical Gothic, but it was published as one. Â I like to think of this as a "whimsical suspense mystery".

I've read other reviews on this site from other readers of Ms. White's other books. Â Yes, I agree that she does use slang and make contemporary references that are too obsolete for today's readers to understand. Â However, I find that to be the case for many writers back then, especially if you did not live through those times yourself. Â Even so, I did enjoy this book. Â There was a lot of tension building up and the reader is kept guessing as to how the story would end and who the "murderer" is.
