I wonder if you have the same book I have. It's called "Gothic Novels of the Twenthieth Century" by Elsa J. Radcliffe (I wonder if she's any relation to the original Mrs. Radcliffe). Some of her reviews are, like you said, odd, but others are in agreement with my opinions.
I've never read any Marilyn Ross but I saw that they made a TV series called Dark Shadows based on one of his books, and the cover (showing the TV adaptation) looked so ridiculous I was not tempted to even begin reading it. Although you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I know the above Mrs. Radcliffe did not approve much of Marilyn Ross.
