Dark Secrets of Cedar Hall

Rating:
Summary: A taut, suspenseful romantic gothic mystery
Review: Dark secrets haunt the halls of a crumbling mansion. A young woman, Lydia De Morley, finds herself ensnared in mystery and deceit as she strives to overcome the evil at Cedar Hall.
What is the meaning behind an old gypsy's dire warning and why does someone want an old brooch?
Why do roses appear throughout the mansion when there are none in the gardens?
Lydia must learn who she can trust among the inhabitants of the hall, but will she make the right choice?
Two handsome men vie for her attentions, yet which one is telling her the truth?
This is a taut gothic mystery in the tradition of Dorothy Daniels and Phyllis Whitney. I loved this book! I wish there were more like this.
A great first book, I am anxiously awaiting Ms. Allison's next mystery.
