I'm not generally a fan of romantic mysteries because they tend to sacrifice the romance in favor of the mystery, and that's usually not especially well done. But I was quite intrigued with the mystery of the ghosts that haunt the castle where Veronica and Tristan through this tale. Both had visited Wyemont Castle as children, and both had memories of seeing the castle ghosts. When they are thrown together at a winter house party, they decide to pursue the mystery, and in so doing, spend time getting to know each other.Truth be told, there was much more mystery than romance in this novel, but I loved how the author wove the stories of the various ghosts together and used them to help build the romance between Vero and Tristan. And I just liked Vero and Tristan for being genuine people who were kind and intelligent and who developed a friendship with each other. The story takes place in just a few days, but it's written well enough that one can believe that the affection (and yes, they call it love) that the characters find for each other has a true and lasting chance.
