At this point, the story comes perilously close to the dreaded big misunderstanding. No, let s be honest. It does descend into the dreaded big misunderstanding as India concludes that Jack had merely been using her to get his hands on the house. She sets out to quash the deal. Then Jack discovers why he is so drawn to Dunbar House and the plot thickens.
Someone is willing to commit murder to get possession of the estate.
Jack is a self-made man, although I wasn t quite sure how he made so much money so quickly. India, despite the fact that she works for a living, had a privileged background. The secondary characters inhabit the rarefied heights of society for the most part. I can t say that any of the characters particularly came alive for me. The plot had some unlikely elements, but for the most part, the story held together.
