The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne: A Highland Story | 
so-so(1789) Radcliffe's first novel is a short one, and focuses on a clan rivalry in the Scottish Highlands. There's little hint of the supernatural here, but there are settings in old castles with secret passageways, and a sensational plot involving treachery, revenge, and a lost heir. It's a lot of a much of plenty, but fun in its way. I ear-read the Librivox version, which is read very well by Lauren Randall.
