I think the Victoria Holt ones were a bit gothicky weren't they with dark castles on Cornish cliffs etc - a bit Daphne du Maurier - I loved them!!!! I remember one called The Shivering Sands and another called Menfreya Razz

They might be reissuing the Victoria Holt books at the same time terri - they are definitely reprinting a lot of old historical novels at the moment as there's so much interest - I've picked up lots of remaindered stuff in The Works 3 for £5 recently - they had some Elizabeth Chadwicks the other day (about 5 of hers including a couple of very recent ones) and some by Norah Lofts who I've not read but was a contemporary of Jean Plaidy. I LOVE The Works for things like that Wink
