Not great literature, but an entertaining sequel to Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey in a similar mock-gothic vein.

Great sequel to Northanger Abbey. I loved how it felt Gothic but still had that humor element that I loved in NA. I really want to read Ann Radcliffe now.

In this Northanger Abbey sequel Catherine and Henry Tilney set off on a tour of Europe and visit Nachtsturm Castle where they have their own Gothic adventure. Or as Catherine believes a play set up by her loving husband.
An enjoyable read.

The description said a combination of gothic and Jane Austen - sounded like a no-brainer of something I would like. Unfortunately, this just wasn't as good as I hoped. I did not finish this.
The story was well-written, and the characters were likable, but even with the story having suspense, the tone and the feeling was flat for me. I was bored and the story just did not hold my attention.
I got as far as chapter 15 before I realized I just wasn't into this book, and gave up. Just not a good fit for me.
