Critic reviews

'Holds all the flavor of a juicy period novel yet with the addition of numerous, witty asides. Full of wry humor and laugh-out-loud commentary. The authors' affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce.' (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

'A delightfully deadpan deconstruction of a Gothic novel, with a ghost almost no one can see providing the commentary. Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good.' (Booklist, starred review)

'A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings and her heroine.' (School Library Journal)
