Judith finds a mystery in her deceased aunt's effects, and goes to Copenhagen to find the answers, where she is joined by a young man on the same quest.
Elisabeth Kyle, pseudonym of Agnes Mary Robertson Dunlop, was a British writer of novels and children's books. She also wrote under the name Jan Ralston.
A woman visits Copenhagen to find out what happened to a her cousin. Not really a gothic, as there isn't any romance or a sinister mansion, so this is more of a straightforward mystery thriller with a female lead. The book is fairly entertaining, and the truth behind the mystery is gradually uncovered via meetings with several colourful characters and visits to various nicely described locations in and around Copenhagen, but (as another reviewer has pointed out) it has a strange ending that seems unfinished.
Judith tries to solve the mystery surrounding her cousin's death five years previously, but many questions are unanswered even at the conclusion of this book.
