An interesting Gothic story set in present times with a vulnerable, poor young woman discovering that she has well to do relatives and a countryside family estate. When she receives a letter informing her of being a recipient named in the will of the dead Mrs. Westaway, she jumps at the chance of inheriting some money even though she feels there must be a mistake as she knows she has no relatives. The reader along with the author unravel this mystery as we discover the background of all of the family members and the reason why her mother kept her safe from her relatives by isolating her. A good read even though there seemed to be much repetition in describing either a thought, a feeling, a mood, or a situation. The use of tarot cards as a way to telling the past/present/future was a clever addition and adds to the suspense. I would read another book by this author.
