Publisher's Summary

It began with a happily ever after. It soon became a nightmare....

Norfolk, England, 1816. Joy Horton is resigned to her spinster status. Loathe to pass on her disorder, she refuses to marry and works tirelessly as a skilled seamstress. But when a brooding duke falls madly in love with her, she's unable to resist his persuasive proposal.

Honeymooning in London, Joy believes she has everything she's ever wanted...until accusations of murder creep into their lives. When they retreat to the groom's estate and he becomes controlling and obsessive, she fears the mansion walls hide a sinister secret.

Can Joy uncover the truth before she's the next victim of a terrifying curse?

Terrible narration

This was a huge mistake on my part. I like gothics, and I fell for the blurb. This is not a gothic. It is a soppy insta-romance where nothing happens until the last hour, when things get bizarre. But then it just... ends. Dreadful.

And then the narrator. The narrator has a speech impediment where anything ending in T or D sounds like "th", and hard A sounds come our as very exaggerated round O sounds. "Con" for can, "attock" for attack, "pot" for pat and "bock" for back, "scon" for scan, etc. You might think, she's British, that's not weird, they prefer a soft A. No. This was not the usual British soft A sound, it was a really intense round O sound.EVERY SINGLE TIME. I couldn't take it. Exthothted. Exhausted became exthothted. And . "Inappropriath" "patht" (past) "quieth" "outh" "didth" "prith" (prize) "feeth" "thoth" (that) "complimenth" "genth" "thath" "prethenth" "exthothted" "wondereth" (wondered) "pointh" "noth" (nod). Seriously, every single word.
It was exthothting.
