Mary lives a quietly in the countryside with her bookish father.She is being courted by the local curate who is on the verge on proposing. The calm is broken by the arrival of her brother and a pretty young heiress who claims someone is trying to murder her. The culprit she believes is her guardian Sir Ingram. This read like a paint by numbers regency romance - with some of the numbers missing! The hero left me cold ,he's tall dark and handsome.Yawn but where is his personality I wondered. " regular features, the most noticeable of which was a firm, square chin

tall and broad shouldered, with finely moulded, regular features, and carefully brushed fair hair. One of these quotes describe the hero.Guses wich?
Then there is the murder plot shoehorned in (could tell from a mile away who was behind it)

When Denzil Trewyn suffers a shipwreck and rescues himself onto the shore of an Island,he is surprised by a Young woman who tells him she is mad.

That is why her Guardians have left her with her governess and a few servants to live out her Life on this desolate Island.

She brings him back to her home where he treated with suspicion by her governess and sent on his way as fast as possible the next morning.

He contrives to meet her again and becomes convinced that Redruth (whom he rechristens Miranda after the Shakespearan character) is not mad and offers to take her off the Island so she can find out who she is and why she has been hidden away.

This book was very weak The character of Redruth aka Miranda waswas almost a caricature of a romance heroine. She is Beautiful and Innocent and that is it. I dont understand what Denzil saw her in other than those two qualities.

Didn't see much romance here, but not badly written.
