Nine Coaches Waiting - Mary Stewart - 4 stars

[Linda C]

Linda Martin is hired by Leon and Heloise de Valmy to governess their nephew, Philippe, heir to the Valmy estate in France. She meets Leon's son, Raoul, and begins to fall for him. Over the course of the next few months she begins to suspect that someone is trying to kill Philippe. Not knowing who to trust she does her best to steer clear of all possible suspects and protect Philippe. This is a classic gothic tale leading to a suspenseful and satisfying conclusion. A great reread.

I reread this earlier this year and totally agree! Holds up brilliantly. A classic now, so wonderfully gothic, holding its own with the likes of Rebecca.

I loved this when I read it so many years ago. I read so many of Mary Stewart's books after that. I'm so glad to hear that it stands the test of time.

I went through such a Mary Stewart phase in my teens - loved them. But I don't remember this one at all. It sounds great!

I've had this one on my TBR for awhile now and will be moving it higher!
