The Shadow of the Lynx

Summary: Two versions of this book
Review: I purchased a copy of Shadow of the Lynx in England some 30 years ago. I really enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately I misplaced my copy. Years later I purchased a copy of it at a flea market in Australia. Unfortunately I was disapointed as this copy was the original version. The version I enjoyed was the rewritten version and is a far superior story than the original. I purchased a copy in Canada second hand and again it was the original version also. If you every chance upon the rewritten version and have read the original buy it as it is really worth the read.

Summary: the usual
Review: Or worse. Well first of all she manages to add in at the end the usual whodunnit, with the criminal being the person most trusted. Then there is the whole being in love with the Lynx. I just didn't think that was realistic at all. We didn't even have the comfort of a happy ever after end. But I'm sure plenty of readers will disagree with me and think it was a fantastic story.

Summary: Victoria Holt at Her Best!
Review: When I first started reading this book, I was bored, but by the time I finished it, I loved it! Nora's mother abandoned her, and her father died mysteriously in search of gold in the Outback of Australia. Her guardian, the Lynx, sends his son, Stirling to fetch her and bring her back to Australia. On their way out of England, they "accidentally" stop by Whiteladies, and old castle inhabited by a young lady, Minta (isn't that at pretty name?), her parents, and her governess. From there, they go to Australia. Once there, Nora meets Lynx, seemingly half-man, half-god. She also finds strange coincidences between the estate in Australia and Whiteladies, including the name. Nora finds herself in the middle of a feud. If her life isn't already mixed up, she must also choose between Stirling or Lynx.
