A little bit Dracula, a little bit way out there… I kind of loved it but I can see why others would find it deeply frustrating.

This nineteenth century novella is a murder mystery and a ghost story. In a small English town the mysterious Countess Narona steals Abby Lockart's sweetheart, Lord Montbarry, and the two go off to Venice on their honeymoon accompanied by a faithful retainer Abby has recommended. Months later Abby learns that her former beau has died of consumption and the retainer is missing. Abby sets off for Venice to investigate. Beautifully written as all Collins books are and a satisfying story.
The first half of this was so frustrating and awful but the second half was ✨
