Summary
Marcia Brett has noticed unusual activity at the ramshackle and seemingly abandoned mansion next door: a mysterious, veiled lady is seen coming and going out the front door, a different woman is glimpsed through a shuttered window, and most mysterious of all, a pretty, blond girl is seen briefly looking forlornly out an upper window! Along with her best friend, Janet McNeil, the two girls are determined to learn the secrets of the old house and befriend the young girl, but once they do, the secrets only increase. The girl has no idea why she is at this house or even who the women she is living with are! Has she been kidnapped? Are they relatives? No one seems to know. - Summary by Jennifer Dallman

This book kept me interested until the end. Narrator was good and you could follow.

Sounds like my kind of book, and I was so interested! However, I couldn't stand listening to it through the readers stuffy nose the whole time. I tried to get past it but I just couldn't!

Well written. Thought I had it figured out, but was I wrong. Love the twists.

I thought this was brilliant book! Full of mystery from the beginning for two friends who hope to discover just what is going on next door. Little glimpses of a strange lady. Then a tantalising view of another lady, one time when the shutters blew back. And finally an encounter with a very confused young lady near their own age. But the shutters are always shut. The young lady seems to only get any air or exercise in her back garden after dark. Eventually everyone in both houses are involved one way or the other in trying to solve the mysteries surrounding the people next door. Especially the mystery of the girl living there. The reader was very good. Able to bring each character to life.

A charming little story that kept me guessing and interested although it is a product of its time and displays racist overtones. The narrator was just fine. I don’t understand the comments about her voice.

I did not like the narrator at in in the first chapters her voice was very nasal and stuffy sounding with little to no emotions at all. It was very flat and monotone which made a good story boring.Then from chapters 17 until the end she was reading too fast and barely stopped to take a breath from one sentence to the next. It was as if she was tired of reading and just wanted to get it over with. I will not be listening to any others books that she narrates
