About the book
"You'd better know here and now, that your airs and graces don't cut no ice with me, no more than your fancy way of talking does. If you're a servant here, I'll thank you to act like one . . ." Miranda had been so gently reared that now, orphaned and penniless, and now a servant on Ynys Noddfa, the huge Welsh estate of the Glendowers, she scarcely knew how to behave. Nothing, however, could dampen Miranda's proud, headstrong spirit. She refused to cringe even before the forbidding master of the house. Gethin Glendower. In fact, Mr. Glendower seemed to enjoy Miranda and allow her many privileges, much to the fury of the other servants. Suddenly weird and frightening things began to happen. And when Gethin's ailing wife appeared to have been poisoned, Miranda began to wonder about the master of Ynys Noddfa and his strange marriage. Then a mysterious death threw the household into a frenzy and Miranda was afraid she had fallen in love with a murderer
