This has panned out to be a romance instead of a mystery. There is background history to discover and lies to correct. However, this a slow-moving story of a Scottish-American standing-up against a selfish uncle of the old-fashioned creole atttitudes in post civil war New Orleans.

I am proceeding slowly because of small print, with a reading tradition I do in bed at night. I would like to think that I have not found the first of my dear Phyllis's stories that bored me. Romance isn't for me but she has always entertained and impressed me with her storytelling. I will certainly give this a chance to warm up.

For a far-sighted lady at the age of needing reading glasses, whose comfortable position is not ideal for gazing through the bottom of a lens; this print is tiny! However, let's see where my dear Phyllis A. Whitney takes us. It sounds more like a romance than a gothic mystery but it will be unique and atmospheric and she normally surprises her readers. New Orleans' presence is palpable.
