BELOVED VICTIM by Joen Arliss

[Carrie Dalby]

    Bought this book because of the title. Love the positive word paired with a sinister one. Set in 1925 (published in 1980), with a Southern heiress (Virginia) and a British artist meet on an ocean liner sailing to England. A good read, different start for a Gothic but it turned more predictable halfway through. Still enjoyable and a page-turner.
