Fantastic story here, with more than one twist. I imagine it as occurring in golden age Hollywood, although there is no exact time frame specified. This was a bait-and-switch tale that kept me guessing until the end. In it, I saw some influences of Daphne Du Maurier\'s classic novel \"Rebecca\" and perhaps Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu\'s \"The Wyvern Mystery.\" Pay attention to the secondary characters; the one that you least expect turns out to be the villain.
