The Death of Jane Lawrence: A Novel

"The Death of Jane Lawrence asks the age-old question pondered by Gothic novels and fairy tales alike: What do you do if your deeply attractive but hastily married husband is hiding a dark secret in his crumbling manor house? Well, when bookkeeper Jane’s arranged marriage gets complicated, she takes matters into her own hands. Gothic novels have to walk the line between horror and romance and not flinch from either. The Death of Jane Lawrence is up to this task, even as it descends into a sort of frenzied madness. By the time the story reached that point of no return, I was so invested that I would have followed Jane into the very depths of hell."
