When Camilla King's grandfather leaves her the family estate in his will, she is shocked. Before her summons to his deathbed, she had never met any of her late mother's relatives. Although the rest of the family clearly does not want her there, Camilla honors her grandfather's wish and becomes the mistress of the magnificent Thunder Heights.

But along with the grand house, Camilla has inherited a legacy of hatred and secrets. Not knowing who, if anyone, she can trust, Camilla searches for the truth about her mother's death. Soon she begins to suspect that it was no accident, but rather murder.

Judge Appertaining To Books Thunder Heights

I saw this on a bookshelf recently and just had to read some Phyllis Whitney again. I read a lot of Whitney and Victoria Holt, among others, as a young teenager. They were quick reads with just the right amount of romance, mystery and intrigue. I will admit that when I re-read this, it didn't take me long to "remember" who the hero and villain were but it was a nice respite from the more serious stuff I've been reading.I tended to avoid books that took place in America as a teen. I was too much

I read this book twice in the past... ten years. All I really remember is liking it enough to read it again before I sent it back to the thrift store, and that I was pretty confused the first time around. Having said that, I guess I won't write a detailed review since it has been so long. Liked it, don't think I loved it.

A novel to read over and over again without ever getting bored! Camilla King takes a trip to a gothic mansion named Thunder Heights where her grandfather resides, a grandfather that her father had done everything in his power to cut connections from. Curiosity might just be the end of cat on this one as she meets a family she didn't even know she had. She found two aunts; an Aunt Hortense who is set in a style of another day, Aunt Letty, haunted beyond reason, also Hortense's adopted son, Booth,

I went through a period of time where I read Phyllis Whitney books back to back - I chain-read her books! Her writing style appeals to me, and these books make a great summer day in the park type read, or a good story to curl up with on a rainy day. The only drawback is the plots are all pretty similar (girl is usually trying to solve a family mystery and finds an attractive yet scary man, etc.) and I can't remember which is which! I liked them all, however.

When I found this battered paperback in a library book sale I was delighted. I have read many books by Phyllis Whitney and I have enjoyed them all. However, this one was new to me. Yes, it is easy to guess the villain--especially if you've read other books by this author. Nevertheless, Ms. Whitney's strength lies in revealing character--bit by bit. All the players are carefully drawn and the descriptions are vivid as well as haunting.Take a trip back in time and read this book.

2-1/2 stars. A great Phyllis Whitney story with just the right mix of suspense and romance. I really enjoyed this in high school and read it several times.

I guess the late Phyllis Whitney (born 1903, died 2008) is, in Victorian Gothic romance, the U.S. equivalent of Victoria Holt (1906-1993), and, in romantic suspense, she's our own Mary Stewart (1916-2014). Whitney was the contemporary of those two known English authors and actually began writing Gothics and romantic suspense before them. Her first romantic suspense book, RED IS FOR MURDER, was released in 1943. Stewart's first (MADAM, WILL YOU TALK?) was from 1954. And the first Gothic by
