I've read five this year, The Ivy Tree, and Nine Coaches Waiting, both of which were traditional Gothics which I enjoyed very much. I also read Airs Above the Ground which was good, but moving away from Gothic to Romantic Suspense. The climatic scene was a chase through an old Austrian castle. I also read This Rough Magic and My Brother Michael both of which are not Gothic but Romantic Suspense, both books bogged down in long dialogue about war and smuggling and bored me too tears. I do not recommend these last two books. I will say that she is one of the best descriptive writers ever, I totally had a sense of Austrian mountains and valleys, north Yorkshire, or Grecian hills along the Mediterranean.
