About this ebook
Lucy Cartwright placed her life and future into the hands of the dashing Baron Clare, despite the rumors of his dark, unsavory past. Trusting his kind words and gentle manner, she agreed to be his wife and followed the enigmatic lord to Greygallows, his sprawling country estate. But mystery, deception, betrayal, and danger surround the magnificent manor—a ghostly secret charges the atmosphere and terror reigns in its shadowed hallways. Lucy entered Greygallows willingly . . . and now she may never leave.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice read.Very entertaining.The book was witty.There was triumph after struggle.Was shocked to know that the ghost was a real women-didn't believe it at first.Then even shocked, the women(king's mistress) and her brother had similar resemblance which helped them plot against an innocent women unknowingly, wore the white gown to scare her -she is a queen of course for the dowry money(marries a debt king as she was unaware and under compulsion) she at the end joins hands with her true lover after the fire accident, a very intelligent man,kindhearted and a silent, decent man whom she loved.The king and his mistress die in the fire accident.Happily ever after story on heaven and earth.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a very predictable Gothic romance, but nonetheless a good one. It's set in London and Yorkshire in the 1840s, when women were the property of their husbands and had no recourse if caught in a bad marital situation. Such a fate ensnares our 17-year-old heroine Lucy, but the young man she met prior to her marriage reappears to explain her husband's behavior and remonstrate with him. There's a satisfactory ending.Lucy's a little anachronistic in that she's got some feminist leanings long before Simone de Beauvoir and Gloria Steinem were born, but it's a good read.
