From Amazon.com

Originally published nearly 40 years ago, this gothic classic has been frightening, romancing, and winning fans ever since. Part Jane Eyre, part Rebecca and all good, clean, campy fun, Mistress of Mellyn will keep you tearing through the pages, and looking for copies to lend out to friends.

Our heroine Martha Leigh is a prim and freshly minted governess who has been hired by the remote and demanding Connan TreMellyn to care for his daughter Alvean. As the departure of the three prior governesses suggests, Alvean is a difficult charge, though understandably so since the recent death of her mother, Alice. As Martha tries to connect with Alvean, she researches the history of Mellyn, and discovers hidden family secrets that still haunt the present. Now familiar with Alvean, she feels herself falling for Connan. Though the desire between Martha and Connan grows, Alice's tragic death continues to haunt them both and endanger any future they may have.

A delightful combination of highbrow writing and lowbrow sentiments, Mistress of Mellyn is a guilt-free treat you can indulge in. The romance, suspense, and mystery tromp across the pages with predictable frequency, and there are enough dark looks and dark corridors for any gothic fan. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

Product Description

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned...But what bout its master--Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the sprawling mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher, Alvean, proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed unfimiliar sensations and turmoil--even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into Martha's life. Powerless against her growing desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into family secrets--as passion overpowers reason, sending her head and heart spinning. But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love--and the freedom to find a golden promise forever...

5.0étoiles sur 5 Brilliant! Romance, Mystery, and Murder all in one, Sep 6 2008
Par Kristina L. Maitland (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Mistress Of Mellyn (Paperback)
I fill in love with Victoria holt in highschool. She's for anyone who loves a good murder mystery with a touch of romance, and historical settings.

Mistess of Mellyn is about a governess Martha Leigh, who travel to Mount Mellyn to take care of a young girl Alvean.
Soon she find outs there's a mystery to the place. Alvean Mother Alice death.
A Tragic event, said to happen by accident. But wierd shadows, voices, coniving neighbours make Miss Leigh uneasy.

Martha life is put into danger as she agreed to wed her employers, as the myster of death comes into light in a gripping tale of love, betrayal and murder.

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Mistress of Mellyn (Paperback)
"There are two courses open to a gentlewoman when she finds herself in penurious circumstances.......One is to marry, and the other to find a post in keeping with her gentility."

With no other prospects in sight, Martha Leigh takes a position as governess for eight-year-old Alvean TreMellyn at her family's estate Mount Mellyn in Cornwall. Alvean's mother Alice has been dead for a year, after she ran away with her lover they both died in a tragic train wreck - burned beyond recognition. Her father Connon is cold and withdrawn, especially with his daughter. Martha settles in and builds a relationship with both Alvean and the waif-like Gillyflower and she also finds herself attracted to the master of the house (well of course!), but then things soon begin to go bump in the night in typical Holt fashion.

Does Alice's presence still live on at Mount Mellyn? Did she really die in the train wreck? Why is Connon so remote from his daughter? What about Connon's relationship with the beauteous but haughty Lady Treslyn? Who framed the last beautiful governess for theft so that she lost her position and was forced to leave? Does someone want Martha out of the way as well? What about these mysterious blinds in the house where one can watch what is going on in another room without being seen? Does the house have more unknown secrets?

That's as much as I'm going to tell - read it for your self!I noticed a definite similarity between parts of this story and Rebecca and Jane Eyre (but that's a good thing), although she's still got a surprise or two in store for you that will keep you turning the pages until the very last reveal (gad, what a nail biter). While she's not quite up to the perfection that is Du Maurier, I think you'll find this a perfect comfort book to curl up with in front of the fire with a glass of red wine and chocolate. 4/5 stars.
