Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of On the Night of the Seventh Moon

Book Review: first-rate gothic mystery.
Summary: 5 Stars

When she finds that she is pregnant they tell her that she was in fact assaulted during the festival, and that her fantasy of the wedding and the honeymoon was only her mind blotting it out and healing her in its own way. Helena refuses to believe this awful explanation, and knows in her heart that Maximilian really existed. All vintage Victoria Holt has its dark elements (some feel she sometimes strayed over acceptable boundaries) and this story is no exception. But for a large proportion of the book this is actually a first-rate thriller, with Helena struggling to hold onto what she believes really happened, even when the evidence against her version is overwhelming. The pace flags a bit sometimes, and you get periods where nothing much really happens, and some of the mysteries aren't that mysterious, but this is still a page-turner, and Holt also shows some sharp perceptions of human nature in this one.
