A review by pacardullo
The Priory by Margaret Wasser

2.75

This one is sold as "horror" - but really it is best described as lite-gothic mystery. Even that is a misnomer. It tries to be atmospheric but does not quite get there. There is a bit of a mystery/red herring early on, but then is pretty much pushed to the sidelines. Honestly, the only thing that saved this from a "two star" for me was a decent arc for the main character and a surprisingly effect climax during the final 20 - 30 pages (not including the return-to-just-ok 10 page denouement).
