I can´t even bother to write a proper review for Nine Coaches Waiting. The mystery was lame and ridiculous, the romance was boring as well, the female main character was an idiot, her love interest was a douche and all the French people were depicted as mean spirited and/or dimwitted and/or downri...
I know, I know, that post title could apply to basically every single gothic romance ever. In fact, as Linda Hilton knows, as I actually cribbed the title from an essay she discusses in this post (which is well worth reading, so you should read it!). Nine Coaches Waiting centers around Linda Marti...
Second to last book read for Halloween Bingo! One more book to go. I'll have a review out for this book at some point.... But right now, all I can think to say is that, while the beginning was hard to get into, the book picked up with signs of danger started surfacing. I wasn't entirely in like...
Nine Coaches Waiting is Stewart’s fourth book, published in 1958 and which is set contemporary to its publication date. I’ve read it a couple of times already and have always had mixed feelings about parts of the plot and characterization. SURPRISE, I still feel that way! I also want to say right aw...

Stewart rocks! Wow awesome suspense! Dysfunctional Family! Gorgeous Rich Guy! Castle in the Sky in Foreign land! What more can you ask for! All of her books are great- must reads but this one and My Brother Michael are my two favorites!!
An author that can be found in general fiction--her Arthurian Merlin Trilogy is among my favorite books. This book published in 1958, a classic of "romantic suspense," is written in first person with a gorgeous, evocative prose style. Generally, the best I can say about a romance novel's prose style...
Nine Coaches Waiting is typical of Mary Stewart’s work, with the usual elements of suspense and romance. I enjoy her writing because she paints lyrical phrases with the brush of her craft: the pen.I’m not normally a fan of romances, but Stewart nicely caters to my aversion by keeping that element to...
What do I possibly say about Nine Coaches Waiting that hasn’t already been said before? Mary Stewart is a legend; her books are classics when it comes to the genre of gothic mystery. Although Nine Coaches Waiting suffers from a slow start, it is a breath-taking novel, beautifully written with a stro...
