read ã E-book, or Kindle E-pub É Victoria Holt review Menfreya in the Morning ↠ E-book, or Kindle E-pub There is a legend at Menfreya that one of the early Menfreys concealed his mistress in the house and that she was killed by a jealous wife Ever after the clock on the tower has stopped when a Menfrey is about to dieTo young Harriet Delvaney lonely self conscious about her slight limp Menfreya standing on the Cornish coast had always spelled happiness and excitement It was there with her best friend Gwennan Menfrey high spirited daughter of the family that Harriet had taken refuge from her father's indifference and cruelty It was there she had admired from afar Bevil Menfrey heir to Menfreya and heir too to al Gothic romances written in the 1960s and 1970s were one of the most popular genres in paperback fiction at the time Most of the stories were written by women or men using female pseudonyms First person tense was used most often it was a ploy to keep the reader glued to the heroine s thoughts For the most part the romances were kisses only or fade to black Eventually this vintage style of romance declined Harriet Delvaney s father was a politician Unrealistically he blamed his young wife s death on Harriet for giving her birth The little girl was plain in looks with a limp and starved for affection Her savior was Fanny Carter whom encircled her with love More then a servant the woman was her security Eventually Harriet formed a special friendship with the beautiful Gwennan Menfrey Innocently captivated she fell in love with her best friend s older brother Bevil The slowly unraveling mystery an unclaimed power the eerie elements of Cornwall and the Menfrey family were the catalyst for the Harriet s change and growth Bevel Menfrey was proud charming and gracious At the same time he had a lifelong plan and it involved Harriet her father s contacts and her family fortune For most of the story I was wary of his character I had Ms Holt to thank for that the plot surrounding this couple was atmospheric and suspenseful There was just enough of an edgy backdrop to continually remind me of something sinister hanging in the wings While Menfreya in the Morning was filled with a na ve heroine and a veiled hero the character interaction was very interesting Only a few writers excelled at baiting the reader with historical tension AND a twisted plot Victoria Holt was one of them I am on the fence with this Gothic mystery There was one forced seduction moment and Harriet s continued gullibility and naive decisions that followed her And yet I was surprised at the end by the persons who most loved Harriet who was the defender and who was the wrongdoer For this reason it earned four stars
