This story seems like an innocent enough tale to begin with -- pleasant countryside, a bored young man returning home, a mysterious employer and the attraction of fine living in a remodeled mansion. So maybe that's why the darker gothic twist threw me for a loop, and kept me turning the pages.
It may be difficult to track down a copy of this book, and it's a bit of a genre change for those accustomed to Brunner's other works, but it is worth a read. ( )
