Don't be fooled by the title! I was wary about this one until my cousin told me it wasn't satanic or have anything to do with the occult.
This book is about Minella, the daughter of a schoolteacher in England. One day, she meets the Comte, a meeting that will change her life. He is arrogant and mysterious, and instantly attracts her attention. Through a chain of events, she comes and lives with him in his chateau with his wife and daughter. After refusing to be his mistress the Comte's wife mysteriously dies. Did he kill her? Then, the French Revolution breaks out, and their love - and life - is in danger.
This Holt novel is different than her other ones because the "mystery" isn't the main issue. It is mostly about the revolution.
