Marblestone Manor is not really historical fiction although there is an historical setting and background.  The writing is somewhat juvenile and the plot that kept trying to develop just never quite succeeded.  There were too many things just shoved in with little or no relevance to the story.Even the main characters were not robustly defined - and also not particularly likeable.I am easily annoyed by typos and misuse of words in publications  This book was not overly hindered by them but it would behoove the author to clean up the errors.The story was ok but it seemd like there were too many drama events thrown in than necessary.  i also wasn't crazy about Hannish lusting after a "young" 20 year old girl while both believed he still was married.  The book was interesting enough that I kept reading but I admit to wishing a couple of times for the end to come sooner.
