By Mary Roberts Rinehart

Heat level
Behind closed doors

The Fairbanks curse... When Hilda Adams came to the Fairbanks' mansion as nurse/companion to old Eliza Fairbanks, she was warned that Eliza was prey to sick fancies...insane fears. But soon Hilda discovered that the evil obsessing the old lady was no spectre of madness...that no one in this house of hate and strange deception could be trusted, not even the disturbingly attentive and attractive Fairbanks' heir...that the terrible secret that touched every life with fear was reaching out to claim Hilda as its helpless victim.

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
