DESCRIPTION:
another good book by Victoria Holt This is the second book I've read by Victoria Holt. The first was The India Fan, which I enjoyed reading more than this one.The Secret Woman was suspenseful and had great gothic creepiness. The story revolves around two sets of neighbors. Anna, whose parents died, lives with her cold, eccentric, aunt in an old house, which serves as both an antique store and a home to them. Next door, in a replica castle, live the rich Creditons, who are full of secrets, and the handsome Redvers, a mysterious man whom Anna becomes friends with.Anna begins the narration. Later, her . "Holt a 5 star author" according to Antiqueaquarian. No matter the subject , Victoria Holt is expert at her plot. There is always a twist at the end of the book. Love her wtitin.. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Great
When Anna Brett sets sail for a Pacific island, she is already in love with Redvers Stretton, captain of the "Serene Lady". He has lost an earlier ship mysteriously, and with it some pricless diamonds, but the truth of what happened only emerges on the primitive island of Croalle.
From the Inside Flap To all appearances, Anna Brett was a quiet, capable young woman whose only ambition was to carry on the profitable antiques business bequeathed her by a spinster aunt. It was then Anna discovered the secret woman who waited within her -- impetuous, daring and dangerous. And so she was -- until the memory of a cherished moment with a blue-eyed stranger suddenly returned to haunt her with savage intensity.
