I think this book deserves four stars because the ending didn't really play fair with the reader. As Gothics so often don't, it shouldn't matter, but this one was a truly unexpected surprise. As there was the hint of the mystery genre in the book, I think I should have had more of a clue.
If you like Gothics, you should definitely try this one. It isn't a bad book, just not a terrific book that cannot be forgotten. ( )
