![]() ![]() Her father is a tough man to please – a historian. ![]() The story tells of Maud’s troubled adolescence - she’s an intelligent child who wants more out of life than what her station will allow. The lady retells the story as she remembers it and her father growing up from when she was a small child to when she was a teenager and when the incident happens. ![]() There’s rumours of witchcraft and devil worship and all sorts of superstitious things. ![]() The reporter has been digging into the history of the father and the mystery surrounding the demise of a once prominent and respected man from a highly well to do family. No one really knew what happened (this was back in 1913) and the house seems to have remained in a similar state since. The lady is a recluse and as a child witnessed the descent into madness of her father. It starts in 1966 and tells through news articles of a report granted a visit to a once grand house and the lady, Maud, who owns the property. That being said, the mystery aspect was really good and I really enjoyed the story. However, this book didn’t really fulfil my personal idea of a gothic horror mystery. I love gothic horror mysteries and that premise was what attracted me to this book immediately. ![]()
