The Pits at Wolsington Castle: A Gothic Novella Kindle Edition

by Julian Smart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 22 ratings

In 1843, Rufus Longley leaves Cambridge to be a tutor to Julia Harwood, the daughter of a doctor. His new home is an unnerving castle with many secrets. How did Julia’s mother really die? Exactly what scientific work is Dr Longley doing in his basement laboratory? And what lies beneath the pits being dug in the grounds by ill-fated, obsessive treasure-hunters? Rufus must follow the clues and reveal the truth, even if it puts his life at risk.

The Pits at Wolsington Castle is a story of love earned but innocence lost, against a background of restless spirits and mortal danger, by the author of The Thomas Rufford Mysteries.

    This had a feel of The Turn of the Screw. We have a young man who takes on the live in teacher role of a young girl. Her father a doctor who spends a lot of his time in his basement lab. Her mother took her own life, or did she? And who brain is on the slides in the lab?

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable tale
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I really enjoyed this novella. It felt so much like it had been written during the period in which it was set, I had to double check. It really felt like I was reading a work written in the past. This lent the story an air of realism that I appreciated. This gothic tale included darkness and evil balanced by hope and heart. As I've said before in my reviews, I usually reserve 5 stars for epic works. This is a solid 4 star book. It was well written and engaging. (Perhaps I should reconsider my rather strict 5 star criteria.)
    I look forward to reading more by this author.
