lgpiper's review against another edition
2.0
Not a very good book. It's not terrible, but just not very good. I gave it 2*+, although GoodReads doesn't allow +s and -s.
Anyway, Owen Morgan is walking from Essex to Torquay, I believe it is, and he sees that he's in serious danger of being caught in a rather bad storm. Then, a car comes along, and a guy named Robert Ashton stops and asks Morgan if he knows where Maj. Temple's house is. Morgan doesn't, but accepts a ride, if only part way, to minimize his exposure to the coming storm. By the time they find Mr. Temple's house, the storm is in full something-or-other and Morgan accepts an invitation to stay the night. He's situated in a room across from the room Ashton will be staying.
Well, weird things happen. People seem to die in locked rooms, and there are weird noises in the night, and so on. Not a particularly good book, but then again, not truly awful.
