The Secret of the Chateau

by Caroline Farr

The invitation for an all-expense-paid trip to visit her uncle in France seemed like a dream come true to beautiful Denise Gerard. But once at the isolated chateau, her dream slowly turned into a nightmare of terrifying noises and mysterious disappearances. If Denise had not met debonair artist Etienne Metier, she might soon have returned to America. But Etienne swore he'd protect her and urged her to stay. And foolishly Denise listened and waited until it was too late to escape from her horrifying legacy...

Reviews

[Megan Hex · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entirely ok gothic of the period, though I rather wish it was more gothic, if that makes sense. The final twist was no surprise, but well executed.
