Why read it?
1 author picked The Revenant of Thraxton Hall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Atmospheric touches ranging from fog-shrouded, gaslit streets to mysterious moors are the perfect complement to witty dialogue, and Entwistle manages to weave in a fair bit of historical detail despite the rip-roaring pace of the story.
From Sean's list on mix magic and mystery with history.
