The House in Munich

by Dorothy Dowdell

House of Horror
When she entered the grand old house for the first time, Sigrid felt a shiver of anticipation. It was her uncle's legacy, and within its walls she hoped to discover the key to his disquieting death some thirty years before. He'd left behind a cryptic note, written just before he died, mentioning a cache of rare wines -- which had never been found.

As Sigrid searched for the secret storeroom, she found love -- an American like herself -- but something kept her from trusting him. Then came a series of shattering, near-fatal "accidents" -- and Sigrid suddenly knew that to keep her house, she must fight for her very life!

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

Using slang such as "the tops" and "square", even without the copyright a reader wouldn't have much difficulty guessing when this book was written. Overall, the mysteries were sold if riddled with red herrings and dramatics. Good, but not outstanding. The seventies version of the Penny Dreadfuls.
