Katharine has been sent to her family’s home estate to spy for
her aunt Alice, who wants control over all of the family’s money for her son,
the heir. Uncle Tully, Alice says,
is crazy and must be put into an asylum before he wastes everything. But when Katharine arrives, she finds a
very different place. Her uncle
may be child-like, but he is also brilliant and deeply caring. Now Katharine is torn – not between her
family members, but also between two men, both of whom who are harboring dark
secrets.
Ms. Cameron takes a
complicated scene and deftly controls the action so that no one gets lost along
the way. Its a little steampunk,
but mostly gothic in its dark mystery.
