Originally published in 1862, Braddon's "sensation" novel tells the story of Lucy Graham, a poor governess of unknown circumstances who wins the heart of the rich Sir Audley. When Sir Audley's nephew comes to visit with his friend George, George goes missing, and the book quickly turns into an action-packed detective story, Victorian style.
It did not take me as long to read the book as I thought, I gave it a 3 star rating. Although I liked it overall, I became flustrated with the character Robert quite often. At times, he came across as very smart and other times almost a joke. Maybe the author did not know exactly what to make of him ???? I would recommend this as a decent read, just don't take it seriously !!!
