The Secret of Bramble Hill, A review




THE SECRET OF BRAMBLE HILL

Sue Owens Wright’s Secret of Bramble Hill has all the elements of a gothic novel, except that it’s set in 1946 after the end of World War II. My one criticism of the story is that there is no mention of the aftermath of the war. However, the fact that it is set in a manor in a quaint Cornish seaside town and is filled with mysterious goings-on overrides anything I might consider a  problem. Tessa Field comes to her aunt’s home after learning about her unusual death. Soon she is reunited with her childhood friend, Peter Tremayne and feels an immediate attraction. However, the budding romance is fraught with suspicion. Soon, Tessa suspects her aunt’s death wasn’t accidental and it isn’t long before her own life is threatened from more than one source. With a generous sprinkling of ghostly appearances, people who aren’t who they seem to be, and even a séance, along with a strong romance, this is a most satisfying tale of mystery and intrigue.
