Let No Clan Put Asunder by Judith Sterling

 “It is no small thing to marry into the Donnachaidh clan, and there was nowhere to hide from it’s past.”

 About the Book: Once again, shy bookworm Gwyneth Camm discovers herself out of place while still inside the Salem, Massachusetts home inherited from her Great Aunt Ethel. Following the prompts left by Ethel, Gwen finds herself sucked into a gothic romance, inhabiting the body of its heroine.

This time, she’s a young, soon-to-be bride in 1970 on her way to Northern Maine, to a clifftop castle that harbors family secrets, Scottish legacies, hidden malice and maybe a vampire. Only by learning the truth will Gwyn return to her own life, where another puzzle still awaits.  

 Our Review: As with Book 1 in the Gothic Gwyn Mysteries [Trip the Light Phantasmic], author Judith Sterling uses her exceptional talent for in-depth historical research to settle the reader into the decade of the post-Vietnam 70’s with its iconic entertainment venues, clothing choices and hairstyle options. The author then flavors a detailed plotline with complicated family dynamics mired in long-held secrets, animosities and resentments. Until the missing groom is found and centuries old curses are crushed, Gwyn won’t be able to return home.

 On a scale of 1-5, Let No Clan Put Asunder deserves a 4.
