Gothic
Well this is definitely a gothic style regency. Grin. Very melodramatic, but not bad. I've enjoyed other books by this author a lot more.

Sometimes you are in mood for the most pedestrian Gothic mystery from the days of yore. So we have the usual checklist:
1. Dark, gloomy castle
2. Tall, dark, brooding hero
3. Flustered heroine with her traitorous body who never seems to think of anything else but the mystery
4. Eccentric bunch of characters
5. Perpetually stormy weather
6. Secrets
Read if you have nothing else to do.

A good old fashioned regency mystery.
