I've heard good things about Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier, but I haven't read it yet. |

Anna, that's a really cool link. Thanks! Mimi, Rebecca is actually on my reminder list. I'll definitely have to give it a go. |

Shadow of the Wind is one of my favs, so I'm throwing a vote in for that but you should really check out Carol Goodman. (I just checked and some are WLed here, but there are some in the system to order as well...) I remember writing a review of The Ghost Orchid : A Novel and comparing it to a rollercoaster ride through a haunted house, you know where it's going to end up, but it's one heck of an eerie ride. The opening lines:
The Lake of Dead Languages, The Drowning Tree, Seduction of Water all are in the system...but The Ghost Orchid : A Novel is my favourite. ed to fix formatting Last Edited on: 7/30/08 8:59 AM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

I second 'Shadow of the Wind'. It's not the same local - England - as 13th Tale, but long drawn out mystery. I couldn't quite figure out where the story was going and it didn't come together until the end. Very sophisticated read; took me awhile to get through but very satisfying conclusion. |

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, which I really enjoyed. Also Angelica by Arthur Phillips, which wasn't one of my favorites but a lot of other people really liked. And I second Rebecca, its one of my favorites. |
