The Mystery of Collinwood (January 1968) Victoria stood on the ledge known as Suicide Cliffs and stared down at the raging surf and jagged rocks below. Next to her stood Professor Mark Veno, a mysterious visitor to Collinwood. He spoke to her in a low, sinister voice. "Think of all those who threw themselves from these very rocks."His eyes seemed to burn into hers. "He's hypnotizing me," she thought. She was unable to make herself look away. "No," she cried. "He's forcing me to jump!" The Professor came a step closer, his eyes still glowing. Victoria found herself unable to move--unable to speak.

The Mystery of Collinwood by Marilyn Ross
I used to watch the show Collingwood after school, every day religiously about vampires and werewolves.
The main opening screen was actually filmed in Newport, RI, closeby to where we live.
This story is about the seafaring business the Collins run out of northeast Maine. I never heard this part of the story line but it even sounds interesting.
After the hurricane that hits visitors come and things are very mysterious as Victoria tries to figure out if she is really a Collins.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

After reading three of these, I have this author figured out. The person responsible is always the least likely suspect (in this case an invalid), and one should never susupect the person Victoria Winters suspects (she is actually quite stupid in these novels). The writing never really rises above the basic, and the reader doesn't get attached to the characters (or gets to know them at all). This book relied too much on the gullability of Victoria Winters. On the other hand, it is fun reading about the characters from my favorite soap opera. ( )
