by Mary Stewart
Not her best work, but a fun read nonetheless. More a straight up mystery than romantic suspense, and while the plot villain was obvious, Stewart at least had some fun misleading the reader about the plot itself. Aside: I bought this years ago at a FOTL sale for a dollar; when I finished reading...
