The Fire Within. Patricia Wentworth. I am not sure why I downloaded this book. There was very little mystery to it. It is a Victorian romance, but not much of one. A young doctor is in love with the wife of a friend and the wife’s sister is in love with the doctor. The plot revolves around the doctor realizing he loves the sister, Not much to it.
