Letty Barlow by Joan Mellows

I finished reading this book last night. Though I had started reading it as soon as I had finished my last book posted here it took me a while. Why it took me so long I'm not really sure because every time I re picked it up again I found it interesting. Maybe I just wasn't in a reading mood.

Anyways, while not a super long book, it was a nice story that didn't seem obviously short. Or was that just because it took me so long to read.....hmm? The mystery in the book added nicely to the story and wasn't clear what was going on at first. I would say this book is a nice relaxing read.

She was but seventeen when her father's sudden death wrenched the calm and quiet out of Letty Barlow's existence. Her previously well-ordered schoolteacher's life was about to change forever.

The kindness shown by her late father's employer had been overwhelming and had thrust Letty into a social whirl far above her station. Soon Letty had two admirers-the charming and attentive John Chaplin, and Charles Despard, whose sardonic wit and realist outlook had drawn Letty to him at once.

Now, with two swains and a new job as companion to a young, recently-widowed Countess, Letty had surely entered into a wonderful new world. Until that mysterious face appeared in the window. Then, all to quickly, it became apparent that someone-or something-was trying to frighten the Countess...or worse. Could Letty, aided by the man she loved, solve the puzzle? Or was her own life in danger as well?
