Ralestone Luck | 
so-soMystery, intrigue, and adventure set in and around a Louisiana mansion. It's not bad: it is paced well and lacks the stilted prose style I associate with Norton. The main characters' chemistry is appealing, but other characters are less rounded, particularly the villain who might as well be twirling his mustachio. Also there's some awkward phonetic dialect, and a random n-bomb. Of its time, and of its place in its author's career: she gets better.
