The Spring of the Tiger

This is one of my favorite Victoria Holt novels! Sarah's mother is a famous actress that dies mysteriously. Sarah feels alone in the world, so she marries to escape a life of boredom with her aunts. When her father dies, she inherits his land in India, which just happens to be right by her new husbands'! She also finds out about a pearl necklace that her half sister inherits that seems to be trouble. After a while, she feels her life is in danger. Who is the suspect? Her husband!I got so into this book that I stayed up half the night to finish it! Then, it took me the other half to recover from the shock of the end! I can't say anything more except READ THIS BOOK!!!

I started out by reading Victoria Holt's Road to Paradise Island. I had no idea I would like it so much so that I went to the library and started reading each one of Ms. Holt's books. Spring of the Tiger is one of my favorite. I liked it enough to buy a copy for myself so I can reread it in the future. This book doesn't have the kind of ending one gets used to reading about in a lot of the romance-fiction books, but that was what appealed to me. Too bad there are not many books left by Ms. Holt that I have not already read.
