Review: Catherine Cavendish never disappoints

I think I've read at least 90% of Ms Cavendish's work - and aim to read all her books within a short time. In Linden Manor her delightful, somewhat Daphne du Maurier style of writing is splendidly clear, taking the reader right inside the story. As usual, she builds the tension from simple every-day events: a child's nursery rhyme that the protagonist, Lesley Carpenter, has known since a child holds the clue to her possible grim future and a delightful manor house, the kind that many dream of living in, holds secrets that Lesley cannot escape. Full marks again Ms Cavendish (who has her own resident ghost, apparently, so can write from experience!)
