Synopsis

Strangers at Collins House (September 1967)
Victoria Winters at last feels she has a clue to her own identity when she meets elderly Henry Collins. He secretly gives her the jewels which once belonged to his lost love — a woman Victoria strangely resembles.

After receiving the gift, Victoria is suddenly terrified by attacks on her life which are masked as accidents. Surrounded by danger, Victoria wonders if she is to be the victim of ruthless thieves — or a hidden murderer desperate enough to keep her from learning about her past.
 

About The Author

Marilyn Ross is the pseudonym for William Edward Daniel “W.E.D.” Ross (November 16, 1912 - November 1, 1995) was a Canadian actor, playwright and bestselling writer of more than 300 novels in a variety of genres. He was known for the speed of his writing and was by some estimates the most prolific Canadian author ever, though he did not take up fiction until middle age.   He wrote popular romances and gothic fiction as W. E. D. Ross and Dan Ross and under a variety of mostly female pseudonyms. As Marilyn Ross, he wrote popular gothic fiction including a series of novels about the tormented vampire, Barnabas Collins, based on the American TV series Dark Shadows (1966–71). His second wife, Marilyn, served as first reader of his works, and "Marilyn Ross" was one of his favorite pseudonyms.

Goodreads review by Quentin on October 23, 2024

HALLOWEEN SEASON READ 2024 I enjoyed this volume, but they are already becoming formulaic. Strangers show up to Collinwood, Victoria is almost murdered a few times, and we get a big mystery reveal at the end. We're only three books in and poor Victoria has already survived like 7 attempted murders. Al......more

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I liked the first two books in the series. I am curious if the books will be better or worse from here on in.......more

Goodreads review by Colton on February 14, 2024

Much like Ross’s other Gothic novels, my review is mainly a reminder of the key points that keep the Dark Shadows novels from blending together. New Characters: Henry Collins, Elizabeth’s uncle Benjamin Willard, his servant James Willard, the servant’s son Molly Willard, James’s servant wife Rupert Ha......more
