Seven for a Secret – Victoria Holt

This was such a fabulous book, I hardly wanted to put it down once I had started on it. It is the story of Frederica and how due to various events she comes to Harper’s Green to live with her aunt Sophie and thus enters into the lives of the rich and spoilt Tamarisk, St Aubyn, her brother Crispin, and the timid Rachel Grey.

Having read quite a number of her books, I found certain things a bit predictable, but nonetheless enthralling since the tale was woven with love, romance, murder, madness and intrigue. Great reading!
