I have read all of this author's previous works and my enjoyment always grew with each new book. Unfortunately, that did not happen with "The Girl in the Gatehouse", which I had been so looking forward to. I found the plotting transparent and the characterizations unoriginal. If this wasn't a Julie Klassen book, I wouldn't have even finished it, but being a fan in the past made me want to give the author the benefit of a doubt. The author herself declares this book to be heavily influenced by Jane Austen and I think the constraints that placed on the author did her no favors. Weak and uninvolving for this reader.
