Summary: Old Plot in Modern Dress
Review: This plot is nothing more than the Oedipus myth updated to contmporary times, with a little of the Electra complex thrown in for good measure. The only mystery is why it would try to be passed off as something new. It is mainly a series of character expositions told in the first person. The book is so fraught with coincidence and chance meetings as to be unbelievable. Still, despite occasional bits of purple prose and too graphic sex scenes, Miss Bradford manages to hold the reader's interest. This should really be classified as a Gothic romance, not a mystery
