Locales for new gothics?

[Penfeather]

I tried to remember the title but I can't. Sorry. I do know it was based on something like the Comstock Lode, so it was set in an almost ghost town in the Nevada silver country. It had the common story line where the son of a rich family brings his new bride home to the family mansion and all of his creepy relatives, and then someone tries to kill her off. I think there was also a previous wife, unknown to the new wife, in the mausoleum. Other than the mining stuff, it was a by-the-numbers Gothic. The cover of Griffin Towers by Joan Winslow looks about right but I can't find a synopsis. I don't think I liked it enough to keep it.

Thank you regardless! I'll try to find Griffin Towers and take a chance. Even though you didn't like it very much, is Joan Winslow a good author in general? I can't find much information about her.
