Ross is one of the most amateurish writers I have ever read - very plain writing, with adjectives in wrong places *- but I really like Ghost ship of Fog island (Edwardian setting, old mansion, sweetly innocent and likable heroine, kind hero, beautiful but cruel incestuous siblings (brother seems to be satire of cruel romantic heroes), table discussion about Jack the Ripper, fog, Flying Dutchman-type ghost ship, cleanliness of his language and imagery). Prose is bare bones, Gothic themes are meat and potatoes here.

* "Horrible crime," small lawyer admitted. (Why "small"? So random...)
