These are four stories billed as unknown thrillers by the publisher. But, are they really? I found them to be interesting, but rather tame. Apparently she wrote more in the same vein for periodicals, some under a pseudonym, others under her own name. All aside, none are what you might expect from this author. Those selected for this publication run between 50 and 100 pages: Behind a Mask, or A Womans Power, Paulines Passion and Punishment, The Mysterious Key and What It Opened, and The Abbots Ghost, or Maurice Trehernes Temptation.
