Synopsis from amazon.co.uk: "Angelfield House stands abandoned and forgotten. It was once home to the March family - fascinating, manipulative Isabelle, brutal, dangerous Charlie, and the wild, untamed twins, Emmeline and Adeline. But Angelfield House hides a chilling secret which strikes at the very heart of each of them, tearing their lives apart... Now Margaret Lea is investigating Angelfield's past - and the mystery of the March family starts to unravel. What has Angelfield been hiding? What is its connection with the enigmatic writer Vida Winter? And what is the secret that strikes at the heart of Margaret's own, troubled life? As Margaret digs deeper, two parallel stories unfold, and the tale she uncovers sheds a disturbing light on her own life..."

I enjoyed reading this, it was gripping enough to keep me reading to the end to see what happens. However, I don't think the last third of the book lived up to the promise of the beginning... or maybe I just didn't understand what was going on :)
I also enjoyed the descriptions of books and reading near the beginning of the novel.

Edited 10 February: Sorry, I only mailed the package today. Why? I stupidly forgot a number of packages in my desk at work, while I went on leave! Book is travelling via surface mail, so it will take a while to arrive. Sorry about that!

Pandora's box was a locked square,

and the woman that opened it
found much to late, that she wished she had not.
