Action adventure mystery romance.  The book description is an accurate summary of the premise.  A shorter summary is that two wealthy single individuals, before unknown to each other, are thrown together without much of a chaperone, with a mystery afoot.  The mystery:  Where is her aunt and her aunt's servants?  Where are their own servants disappearing to? Are there really ghosts about?I found the story started really good. Characters were introduced, the mystery revealed and deepened.  Mid-way through though, for my tastes, the story was less realistic than I prefer. The story moved fairly fast and had a lot of action/adventure, but some leaps of logic were required, which reduced my enjoyment of the story.  To be fair, the anomalies/leaps tended to move the story forward and were explained but, well, some things were awfully convenient. For instance, even though being worried and otherwise cautious, the main characters somehow didn't check that windows were locked, and when they needed an unlocked window, wow, they conveniently found one.I would consider this a 3 1/2 stars, and good value for money.
