Book Review By Laura J. Miller
Menfreya in the Morning by Victoria Holt

Harriet Delvaney always loved looking at the great house of Menfreya. She viewed it as an escape from her indifferent father and controlling aunt. When Bevil Menfrey asked her to marry him, she thought it was a dream come true. She didn't realize the danger that awaited her when she joined the family.
