The Thirteenth Tale

by Diane Setterfield
This debut novel has all the feeling of a classic Gothic mystery. It is full of ghosts, murder, madness, secrets, and everything else that you would expect from the Bronte sisters or Daphne du Maurier. Set in the windswept Yorkshire moors, the tale revolves around Margaret Lea, a book lover and biographer who has been hired by the dying and reclusive author, Vida Winter, to pen her biography. Throw in a few strange families, feral twins, several very scary living people, and some scary ghosts, and you have a story that reels the reader into the very heart of it.

"Very different, interesting book. It grabs you and doesn't let go. It's disturbing in a couple of ways but ultimately very entertaining - you just can't put it down wanting to find out what happens next." Janelle
