Shadows Over Briarcliff
The desperate summons could not be ignored
Stephen Briar's note was more than the grief-stricken missive of a newly widowed brother-in-law. Since Ann's untimely death, evil had settled over Briarcliff, and Stephen was fighting for his survival.
Jessica Rice sought to uncover the truth about the accident that had claimed her sister's life, but the mystery only deepened. Intrigue wove around intrigue, casting all the occupants of Briarcliff under the gloom of suspicion. No one could be trusted - including Stephen.
Jessica had never felt so alone, or so gravely in danger.

Not the best Marilyn Ross title, but not the worst.
I still enjoyed this one and it did things just a little different at the start.
An odd thing with this one was that at times it seemed like it was being rushed and could have spent more time on some events.
This was my first Harlequin published gothic romance, though I was listening to the Paperback Classics audio.

I don't like when characters repeat the same things over and over and over again, and I like it even less when that happens, and other characters act as though they never heard a certain sentiment before.
That goes on a lot here. The book was good, despite that. I figured out who the baddie was early on, but wasn't 100% sure.
