👍👍👏👏👍👍Wow! such low ratings for such a good book. The date on this is 1894. It is written in the classic style for a mystery thriller. A hyphotic story. It is not a contemporary story with excessive bad language or grafic sex scenes or blood and Gore. It a good clean read. However, it runs though a lot of emotions. It has love, hate, revenge, fear, joy, excitement as well as sadness ( just a few). If you love Agatha Christie you will love this. This is such a well written story. Please give it a try and have an enjoyable, well spent time away from all the worries of your day. Enjoy.😀😀😀😀😀

I suppose it was more ground-breaking at the time, but the plot is old and creaky by now AND what little mystery there is, is given away in the introduction (not to mention the title). Paine's written some good stuff, but those manifestly did not include this stinker of a mystery/thriller.
