Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-08 00:00:00 Donna Ingram A good mystery story, there are loads of characters and one may get a bit confused at times, but it still is quite interesting. Generally an old and a bit strange woman is found murdered at her home and it just so happens that not too long before shes found her servants were just chatting among themselves about the unusual household. Well you may be wondering where and when the 'secret passage' part comes in. Actually for most of the tale you'll be wondering, since this is only explained in its entirety after you get half way through or there about. But as I said its an interesting tale there's that small element of excitement due to the reader wanting to just get to the mystery's solution. Like classic mysteries, well maybe you could try it... :):) This is also available at Librivox so you could give it a listen too...

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-13 00:00:00 Jesse Butler I was pulled in at the start with appealing young woman who shows up needing a job as maid to a rather haughty old woman but the book can't stand the test of time in some measures. Its value for me is the portrayal of another era. I will probably try another book before I give up on Hume. This one is the third on the gutenberg list of Hume's books with regard to popularity. If you need a free book on your kindle you might try one from this UK author (1859-1932) who actually grew up in New Zealand where his family emigrated when he was young.
